How do I know what ton log splitter I need?

How do I know what ton log splitter I need?

To answer this question you need to start with what types of log you will be splitting, but also what size logs as well. A 6 inch in diameter hardwood like elm or hickory will need a splitter of about 10 tons and above, but if they are a softwood like a pine then you will only need a 4 ton unit.

How do I choose a log splitter?

The thicker a log is, the more wood there is to force apart on either side of the grain. Logs that are larger in diameter need more pressure to split. That’s why a 4-ton log splitter will work well for 6″ branches, but a 24″ tree trunk will require at least the force of a 20-ton splitter.
