gas powered log splitter recommendations

[MiddlepointBight]

Hi there,

Looking at getting a gas powered log splitter (not electric). Lots of options out there, but I am sure some are lemons.

Anyone have experience with the Lumber Jack splitters? Gibsons Building Supplies has the 25 TON 196CC and also 37 TON 277CC models. I think the 25 TON would be plenty for my needs.

Anyways, curious to know if anyone has recommendations of forewarnings.

Thanks!

Mine is a 25 ton BE with a Honda engine. So far it has not met a piece of wood it will not split, and I have given it some pretty gnarley stuff.

I bought one of these green machines about ten years ago. Has not missed a beat since. I use it in the vertical position all the time. Nice that it folds down for towing. Backing up is impossible but easy to move around for two people.
