Frequently asked questions

What is the best tonnage for a log splitter?

There’s no single “best” tonnage for log splitters, only what’s best for your operation. Small residential jobs with softwoods can get by with just 10-20 tons, while large, dense hardwood rounds or people handling regular work can justify upgrading to 30-40+ tons. This ensures fewer jams and smoother operation. It’s best to build a small buffer into your tonnage just in case.

How big of a log splitter do you really need?

A 20-ton model is usually fine if you’re splitting logs under 12" in diameter. But, you’ll want 30-40 tons of force if you're working with oak, hickory, elm, or any log over 16". Consider not just diameter, but also whether the wood is green, seasoned, or full of knots. Tougher materials require more force. It’s that simple. 

Who makes the best quality log splitters?

Brands like Detail K2, Iron & Oak, and Champion consistently deliver reliable performance, durable components, and easy service access. We only stock manufacturers we use ourselves, so you can trust you’re getting the best quality you deserve. 

What is the cycle time of a 40-ton log splitter?

That depends on the design. Hydraulic models usually take 12-15 seconds per cycle, while kinetic splitters like the Detail K2 OPS240 complete a full split in just 1 second. You can see why they’re such a great investment!
