I just bought an electric log splitter.It's a Yardworks 4 ton splitter.This thing is GREAT!!!I may not be able to split every piece down the middle but as long as I take slivers off the sides there's no problem.Payed $200 (Canadian) for it.If anyone has a chance to buy one I say do it especially if you keep your wood in the basement.Anyone else have one of these?I'd love to here your experiance.
 
No, I'm still swinging a maul.
Been shopping for one, that will meet my needs & not break the bank.
I looked at the small electric ones, just no sure it will do what I need.
Almost ready to get the small one or make one.
A friend has one & he splits wood in his garage, just before burning, & not happy with his stove. May be the wood not seasoned?
He says it works well.
 
I think my electric one is 5 or 6 tons. It will do 90+% of what I need to split.

John,

Enjoy your new splitter! Sounds great, easy to store
and always starts. Please give us a status report after
a few month of use.
 
I have a Ryobi 4 ton & as others have mentioned it splits about 90 percent of what is needed. I have put large elm rounds in & some just sneer at the splitter & say "make my day". I've also put dry elm in that I figured no way & it split. These are great splitters. Hope you enjoy yours, Randy
