Yard Machine 20 ton splitter
I agree with the other review written about the amount of Hydraulic Fluid needed to get started. The instructions say that you need at least 1 gallon less. It works fine if you are splitting small pieces, but is not the splitter you want for any wood larger than 8 - 10 in around.

So far so good
I received my order a couple of days ago. It is not a giant machine but a small to nice sized one. When it arrived, being a guy I didn't read the instructions and it went together real easy. I just fired it up today and split one 10" oak log. It went through it very easy.

Some things I would mention are, it doesn't take 3.5 gallons of dexron III to fill it up. Mine took 4.5 gallons of fluid. Some of the attached brackets have to be totally removed and repositioned when you put the splitter together.

The engine started on the second pull and runs great. The first log I split was in the horizontal position. The wood sort of hangs up a bit and one of the halves tends to fall on the engine. I think I will split all others using the vertical postion.

Overall, nice, efficient, easy to move, will be a long time friend. ... Read more

Fantastic Splitter for Oak
Splitting green oak can test any machine. This machine did it! We came across a deal in CA for free oak if we could take the wood away. An Oak tree that was approx. 200 yrs. old, fell on a new house that belonged to a friend 6 months before we got to it. The base was 7 ft. across. The trunk was 4 ft. across and the branches didn't start for a good 10 ft. The rounds were cut anywhere between 10 - 25 inches thick, but not moveable by 1 man alone. So, they were cut in 1/2 and some in 1/4's. I ran the machine as my husband positioned the wood. Some pieces were the full 25 in. (max. capacity) and it split! The rounds were split into 16 - 20 pieces. A normal round yields 4 - 6 pieces. At times it sounded like it had to try harder, but you have to expect that with hard wood. The machine ran almost 1 1/2 hours NONSTOP per tank of gas. We'd go for 4-5 hrs. because we got tired, but the machine could've continued without issue. The maneuverability is great! Assembly took less than an hour which included oiling and gas fill up. The Tecumseh engine works great. We paid $1,000.00 with rebates and no shipping or tax.
If I had to come up with a complaint, I'd say it drinks the gas a little fast for a small engine. However, it could have been because of the load placed on it. It may barely drink any if we were splitting pine.

great deal.
I bought this model 3 years ago with the 6 horse briggs & stratton i/c engine. It sits outside all year and has never failed to start or operate perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone, even for commercial use. I can't say how it would be with the Tecumseh engine, but other things I own with Tecumseh motors work great.
