Got My new log splitter !

[Nixon]

It's an American CLS 25 hh . The specs are here. http://americanlogsplitters.com/specs.html
I got it with the log lift, log pan ,and 4 way . So far I've only split a little over a cord with it . But the difference between it and My MTD 26 ton splitter is like day and night . The cycle time is 10 seconds Vs 20 ,or more . I don't have to wrestle logs onto the machine ,the log lift does that . The Pan catches the big splits that need to be re-split .
The MTD splitter never let Me down,but as I get older ,I just needed a better way to prepare firewood. It wasn't cheap, but it does fulfill that need .

Congrats, looks like a nice machine. How do you like the 4-way?

It sure speeds up the process of splitting . One thing to watch out for though is to not put really Knotted piece into it with the 4 way on . So I have to cull the uglies to be split first on the 2 way wedge .

Nice looking splitter. As we get older it is nice to have a good quality tool that makes the task easier. I run a homemade with a 28 gal per min pump. It is nice to have a fast cycle time. I need to put it in my shop and put a log hoist on it as I get older and less help is around to run tractor and loader to lift the big rounds. The four way looks nice too. I need to build one of them also. Enjoy the new toy.
