Overview

Splitting big rounds flat or upright is what this Yardmax machine does, with a patent-pending U-beam carrying the ram and wedge. A Briggs and Stratton engine supplies the power, and protective cradles hold logs on each side.

The beam is described as more durable than a typical I-beam, and the description calls the size and weight suitable for frequent towing, with stamped steel fenders as standard. Capacity figures a buyer would check, such as maximum log length and cycle time, are missing from the page.

Who it's for

Frequent splitters, such as rural homeowners or firewood sellers, will use the strength and the ability to tow it between sites. Occasional users with small stacks, or those without a way to tow or store it, should consider a lighter splitter.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High stated splitting force
  • Splits horizontally or vertically
  • Full beam U-beam design
  • Protective log cradles both sides
Cons
  • Log length and diameter limits not listed
  • Heavy, needs towing to move
  • Cycle time and fuel capacity absent

Performance notes

The engine drives a hydraulic ram along the beam, which pushes the log into the wedge, and the force rating sets how tough a round it can split. Standing a log upright or laying it flat changes how it is loaded, and cradles support it on both sides. Cycle time is not published.
