Frequently asked questions

Is 5 tons enough for a log splitter?

These log splitters could be more than enough - but it all depends on the wood you’re working with. 5 tons is plenty for homeowners splitting softwoods or well-seasoned hardwoods under roughly 10 inches in diameter. You might need more if you’re dealing with larger sizes, dense hardwoods, or irregular pieces.

How well does a 5-ton log splitter work?

The Boss Industrial EC5T20 5-ton splitter works exceptionally well for what it’s designed to do. It handles everyday firewood chores efficiently, but it’s not built for huge rounds or wet, stringy wood.

What can a 5-ton log splitter split?

Most users rely on a 5-ton unit for pine, fir, spruce, cedar, and properly seasoned hardwood like oak or maple. Clean, straight-grained logs are where it performs best.

How big of a log splitter do you really need?

It’s as easy as matching tonnage to your wood. Here’s a quick guide:

5-7 tons: Softwoods up to 8-10”.
10-12 tons: Softwoods to 14”, hardwoods to 10-12”.
20-22 tons: Hardwood up to 16-18”.
25-27 tons: Tough hardwood/knotty pieces up to 18-24”.
30+ tons: Oversized hardwood, crotches, ugly rounds 24”+.

Whether you’re looking for a 5-ton log splitter or a large-scale kinetic log splitter, you can rest assured that Equipment Outfitters will connect you with the right equipment. Get in touch today!

Low use lift

I own a small plumbing company and needed a lift to help maximize the storage and workspace in my shop. This lift has performed exactly as needed. The battery capacity could be larger, but for most users it likely won’t be in continuous operation. In my case, after about two hours of intermittent lifting, the battery still showed half a charge remaining. The most challenging part of the entire purchase was actually removing the lift from the shipping pallet. Overall, it has been a reliable and effective addition to my shop. It will get used only a few times a year.

Katool 9,500lbs Heavy Duty 4 Post Storage Car Lift 4H950

Quiet, powerful BEAST!!!

It’s hard to find customer reviews online about these, so maybe this will help someone. We have a tree service, which means lots of trucks on the road that need to stay looking good, and muddy equipment. We have used a Honda powered 3,000psi/3gpm unit for years, and finally got tired of the set up and take down every time it needed used. Ordered this unit, and it was immediately shipped. Shipping process was smooth, and it was well packaged on a crate. The unit itself is very well built, and comes with everything you need to get going. After mounting it and hooking it up, it was immediately put to the test. I cannot express how highly impressed I am with this unit! It has been installed for two weeks now, and probably has at least 20 hours on it already. Should have ordered this years ago! Also very impressed with Equipment Outfitters. You won’t be disappointed!

Katool 8,500lbs Heavy Duty 4 Post Storage Car Lift KT-4H850

Highly Satisfied

I am very satisfied with the pressure washer. It was delivered very quickly and with absolutely no issues. The Simpson washer worked flawlessly on my driveway. The Honda engine and CAT pump on the aluminum frame was definitely a plus.
I can also highly recommend Equipment Outfitters. The price was great and the helpful advice they gave me was so appreciative. The communications were also super, keeping me informed from purchase to delivery.

Brave Hydraulic Power Pack Hydra Buddy 1500 PSI 7 GPM with Honda GX270 Engine HBHXL16GX New

Beast of a pressure washer!

So far I’ve only used it a handful of times but this thing is a beast! The Honda gx390 starts easy on the first pull every time. Can’t go wrong with the high quality Cat pump I’ve used it with the supplied wand, MTM Hydro magnum28 foam cannon and the MTM Hydro industrial sand blast kit and the BE Power washer handles it all fantastically. With the stainless frame, Honda engine and Cat pump I’m convinced this will be the last pressure washer I’ll ever have to buy.

We upgraded to a more advanced balancer

We upgraded to a more advanced balancer. Our old one was 40 years old. This has been a great addition and has sped up our tire repair time by a lot. Great product easy to use.
