Splitter help.... New here

[Robert Caiati]

Hello all,

I am in the market for a log splitter. I have been burning for three years and always rent a splitter. If like to buy my own. I was thinking lowes or Home Depot.... Good choice? I'd like one with a 4-way wedge. I'm splitting oak if that helps... I would greatly appreciate advice!

I'm happy with my Husky 22 ton - work through most rounds - oak will be a cake walk for you, unless super gnarly. Look for sales - sometimes at $999. Cheers!

Add Huskee (made by SpeeCo) splitters from your local Tractor Supply store to your list.

How much wood will you be splitting per year?

I was just fishing up your way with my nephews from Carlisle. Great stocking by the local angler's club.
Welcome and Buona Fortuna!

Huskee 22ton, happy owner here, its split everything so far.

You're gonna get a lot of responses recommending the Huskee (Tractor Supply) unit. And there's a good reason for that.

BTW: You never mentioned a budget, since you did mention HD/Lowes, I'm assuming it's around $1000-$1400 or so. If you want to play with a $2K+ splitter, re-post and you'll get some different choices.

I would like to stay under $1500... I may be able to catch a sale at TS for a huskee. Thank you

Keep an eye on CL and find a used or homemade splitter. They are a dime a dozen around here for under $500.

You can walk into a TSC during many sales and leave with a 22 ton for 999. Check the sig lines on members for who is using what. You will see a Huskee at the bottom of this post. Very happy with mine.
