Ratings & Reviews for Performance Built 27 -Ton 208-cc Horizontal and vertical Gas Log Splitter with Briggs Stratton Engine

Great small splitter.

This wood splitter has worked perfectly. I have split 2 cords of wood so far with it. It powers through semi dry tan oak up to 30 inches in diameter. The larger sizes need to be turned over for a second run at it. The table next to the splitting keeps log sections where you are working. You do not need to constantly bend over to pick them up.

Plenty of splitter for the money!

This log splitter is a truly heavy duty, well built machine. I recommend reading the setup and break in instructions very carefully and following them as closely as possible. During my first initial use of the product I experienced a substantial leak of hydraulic fluid from the fittings just above the pump. After hand tightening the upper nut while holding the base nut stationary, the leak subsided but did not entirely stop. The second time that I fired it up the leak was gone, possibly plug...

Great product but one issue

Great product… only issue one pre installed hydraulic hose was upside down which caused the splitter not to start because there was a kink in the hose when placed in the upright position. Make sure both hose connected are pointed up.

great splitter for the money

I'm a logger and sell firewood on the side. I bought this splitter last September and split over 50 cords of oak,hickory and locust with no problems. I just recently split 2 cords of sweet gum with no issues. I've split some huge knotty blocks and have honestly been impressed with this splitter. The engine starts easily and I use stabilizer in my gas which is important I don't care what engine you have if you leave untreated ethanol gas in it you will have problems. For the average homeowners bu...

it works

Before you use this go over it and make sure everything is tight. Also the bearing were almost dry. Have Lowes deliver it and then repack the bearings, otherwise they will burn up.

No

Runs great, starts easy and so far has done everything I expected it to do. Haven’t tried to split anything read big as of yet.

Great machine

Very easy to use and the change to vertical made spitting mthe heavy big rounds a snap.

Happy woodsman

I like everything about this machine. I've used it for more than a cord so far on both seasoned and newly cut oak. Everything works as it should. It was delivered to my house with no difficulty and on time. I've used it on small stuff and on 32 inch diameter logs and it just pushes right through. I'm 78 years old and split all my life with a maul and wedges. My back said no more but this machine lets me continue.

THROTTLE CONTROL STOPED WORKING

Waiting to hear from support rabbit and turtle control not working any more throttles to off from the vibration of splitting.

It’s a good tool for the money.

I have been splitting wood by hand and this splitter made the work very manageable. I just cut and split 2 truck loads of wood in about 3 hours.

Wont start

After sitting for 2 months under a tarp Complete dry the dam thing won’t start It this day and age can’t they figure out how to make a engine start without getting flooded My mower and week wackier start after two pulls Thai is bs

So easy a 13 year old can do it!

This splitter works very well, I am happy so far. The engine starts on the first pull, every time. I have split several trees with it and currently have my nephew splitting a large pile of wood. Some of it is sweet gum which does not split easily however this splitter goes through it quickly; 27 tons appears to be enough. I have used the splitter in both positions. Its a little easier on your back and legs when used upright. I have also split very large logs >24" in the upright position. ...
