BILT HARD Log Splitter 6.5 Ton, Wood Splitter Electric Powered 15Amp, with Hydraulic Ram, Electric Firewood Splitting Machine, Horizontal

This is a worthy log splitter. HUGE time (and back) saver. If you can fit a log in the area, it will split it. I've split logs up to about 3' across. I had one hardwood stump that was one giant solid knot that it wouldn't split full sized: it was about 25" across and was the stump of a black walnut that had 2 trunks growing out of the same area, so it was literally just one big giant knot. I had to cut it down a little in length (about half) and then ran it through again and it worked fine. Most normal knots this thing will just power through, I had to go out of my way to find one that gave it a pause. This will save your back, and once you get the logs chopped up to the right length (I usually did about 20-22in long) this thing splits them like a champ. I used this thing getting wood for the whole winter, and heated my house using solely wood heat, highly highly recommended. Seems as durable as a tank, very low noise level (it's electric/hydraulic), and fits nicely on my workbench. There's a safety switch that's just far enough from the start button to be effective. This thing paid for itself last winter, and then some. I can't overstate what a time saver this was, I was hand splitting my wood the winter before last. OF NOTE: Split your wood before it freezes. Since it's an electric/hydraulic splitter, when it gets below freezing it won't work (the oil freezes up). No big deal, I had this happen on 2 occasions when it was below 20 here, I moved the splitter out into direct sunlight and waited a couple hours (and for it to warm up a little) and then split enough to keep me warm, absolutely no issues with it.

So I got a manual log splitter. It take an awful amount of movement to operate it. Took it back. I knew it had to be electric. I know and use BiltHard products so the reviews were understandable. I took the plunge and got it. We've had several trees cut down in the last year and use them in the fireplace. They catch and burn so much better when split. The thing that gets me is the ease to use it. Log on. Push the button. Pull the handle. It splits easy. No physical effort whatsoever. I would have gotten it sooner had I known how easy it is. This is a nice one. And if you have any issues with shipping or how to use it, their customer service can't be beat. They're very helpful and very communicative. Only issue, it's very heavy. But it has to be, and they all are. Super sturdy. Not extra huge - decent size for the job. I suggest a cover to protect it.

I bought this splitter for a tree i cut down on front yard. I reviewed alot of others, but this one was the best for its price and power it has, I can tell you, i been trying to beat this log splitter to the ground and so far, after 3 cords of wood i have split, this is still going like a beast. I have maybe sharpened the wedge on it, once .Would help more if i sharpened it more I have never filled liquid in . I have kept this outside in rain, and dirt all over it. Still, it keeps on going.. I have split tree cuts close to 30 inches in diameter, some even more larger. I had dug a trench for the log splitter to kind of sit in, ground level so i can roll the logs over it to split. Check out the photos. you can see the size of logs to the wheelbarrow, give you an idea on diameter. Once i split it, you can see other end on almost split through.(Photos are out of order, but it's the 3rd and 7th photo that it cracked, the 6th photo is the log split in half). Once i gave it a wiggle, it broke in half. After that, you just keep splitting those pieces up. Tip, i put wood on the ground for me to roll the log up, onto the splitter. If i have to every buy another log splitter again, it will be this one... For the price of it and what it can do..... WOW. So amazed. Showing you, that this log splitter can and will split larger logs, than what is written on requirements. Really, the only bad things i had was that the front metal supports are thin, and the bolts get lose fast. Keep an eye on those, maybe put Loctite on those bolts. Last, is the knob where you loosen up for the Fluid to release, that knob is now broken half off, because a log hit it, as it was splitting, But, its okay now, it was just the plastic ,that got broken, i can still twist it close or open by hand..

The machine is a beast works nicely. My only complaint is it’s very heavy and awkward to move. The narrow wheel base causes it to tip while u transport. If you’re in a hurry to split wood this is not the machine. Great for those logs with knots, splits them like butter.

Excellent splitter! Cuts 12-14 inch cedar with no issues. This thing is a BEAST! have been running it for 4 consecutive weekends, approximately 6 hours each day. Got a lot more done than anticipated. It just keeps on working. Checking the hydraulic oil before each use and making sure the vent valve is open during use is all you need to worry about with this electric model. I highly recommend it. I opted not to mint it on the included stand as it made it too unstable for my terrain.

Assembly was simple, just attach the wheels and handle. The instructions about bleeding the hydraulics for air were confusing and poorly written, it was not clear whether to just initially bleed the air or to leave the bleed screw open all the time except when transporting. I tested it with a couple 9” diameter birch logs and they split easily. The travel time isn’t fast, but few log splitters are speedy with retracting the ram. The plastic wheels are not robust, but they could be swapped for bigger ones if needed. No fumes or noise or carburetor to adjust. I still have the big gas splitter for larger logs, but this is handy for things a bit too wide for the stove door. One week later: Still working well, though it tripped a breaker in the basement once for unknown reasons. One complaint: the devise on the bar that is supposed to keep it from retracting all the way when splitting shorter logs, to shorten cycle time, does not hold very well. When I set it to a specific length and tighten the knob, it does not hold and doesn’t do its job. I’m trying to think of some way to make it grip better or tighten more strongly. A good concept but it doesn’t work as well as it should. I’m also regretting not getting the version with the stand, a bit too much bending low, I will have to improvise and modify.

Amazing strength, can't do everything, but is a solid performer. Standard sized logs, so nothing too long. It surprises me on many logs. Easy to setup and move to where you need it.

Works well, make sure to read instructions and follow requirements to not damage the unit. There is a set screw that must be loose so that the ram can breath otherwise you will damage it if that set screw is tight.
