Great splitter with a few annoyances.

Date:January 12, 2012

"I bought the unit last fall (2011) to split maple, oak, poplar, birch 16” logs. I have used gas splitters and, although they worked well, the noise, fumes and large size were downsides.
I have AC power available and decided to try the unit out.
It worked extremely well and split even the toughest logs I threw at it!
A few issues are:1. It really needs to be raised to about hip level for easy use. 2. The tire stems are a weird size and a bicycle pump end is too large - had to use a compressor chuck to fill them - but they’ve stayed filled 3. The two handed use is a bit of a pain - holding the lower green button and then moving the lever is awkward, especially the times when you need to steady or push a split log. A foot switch for the green button would be very handy and safer. That's why I gave it four stars.
I definitely like it and hope it continues to work as well as it has. For the price - great product."

Yardworks 6 Ton Electric Log Splitter

Date:December 14, 2011

"I just bought this unit the other day and used it right away. I was very impressed from the start. With the weather being rainy and very cold, the logs were even frozen at times. it really wasn't an issue for this unit. Popped em like a cork out a bottle. Love it so far, glad I bought it!!
My only issues are that it has a narrow wheel base and tends to want to topple as you pull it (Bumpy terrain). I think too if the handle was extendable to make it easier to pull around. Also the stand would be an asset as it is low to the ground."

Greatest "little logsplitter in town"

Date:October 16, 2011

"We have a friend who has one of the larger log splitters, but decided to try this 6.5 ton out. Since it is only for our own use. It worked just great. Able to split a 12 " log without problems"

The Green Beast

Date:October 9, 2011

"Extremely heavy duty. Weights 172 lbs with pneumatic wheels not found on most splitters. The 4 or 6 ton option found on this model will not disappoint. Very powerful on oak logs that are difficult to lift. Installed a professional grade foot pedal in place of the on/off switch. Prevents bending over and keeps face away from splitting area."

Better and better

Date:September 7, 2011

"A neighbor lent me the 4 tons.
I liked it so much that I bought the 6,5 tons model.

If the 4 tons would hesitate with the larger logs, the 6,5 tons, on low speed, simply breaks it clear.

It will split about 90% of the logs on high speed
( faster then the 4 tons model ).

The extra money is worth paying for"

Awesome spliter

Date:August 11, 2011

"I bought this log splitter 4 years ago. Ive done about 30 + cords with it with not even ONE problem.
I just keep up on maintenance and leave the front valve open all the time and it works flawlessly. Only leave it open if your using it, if your moving it close it completely.

Ive split some massive pieces with it (approx 35" + across or bigger) with no problems. Hardwood and softwood.

I like it as i can split wood in the winter in my warm basement beside my cozy wood furnace with no exhaust fumes from a gas powered unit.

Nothing splits like a 20T gas unit though if you can swing that much cash for one.

I highly recommend it, just keep up on maintenance and keeping everything clean and the hydro oil topped up and it will last you.

Besides that the paint chips off after awhile that's the only thing i can find negative, but after all this use ive put it through that's to be expected.

I will just powder coat it in my shop when i get time."

Splitter sitting on the fence

Date:July 8, 2011

"I bought the splitter today and am glad I got the 6 ton I have stop it dead twice with big old heavy logs and it has stuck out and not retracted 4 or 5 times when splitting 20 or so logs . A quick hard shove and it will go back in but a pain
So not sure what I should do take it back or try a few more times to see if it will loosen up and retract.
The two speeds is handy and am learning how to use it more effectively .
its a heavy unit and it would be nice if they had a stand ,you have to be on your knees to push the button and pull the leaver at the same time and you are sitting close to where it splits and am a little worried when they fly off will hit a person. I hope this help you out there when getting a splitter."

Great unit but be well aware of the weight (172lb)

Date:April 21, 2011

"This unit does the big logs, I split hard wood up to 30 inches across, Sometimes I have a hard time lifting them up, but when I get them in place the splitter does the job.

It has 2 speed settings, the " bull low " is amazing.

the only con would be that it is heavy and is not designed to be a tailgate unit like the smaller ones.

I am happy with, so I recommended it if you have great big hard wood logs to split.

Mario"

2 stage Ram

Question:

on the yardworks 6 ton electric log splitter there is a 2 stage ram. How does this work. when I slide the handle on mine there is no second speed .

beerhound

Answer:

I had an issue to with this, but found it is for the logs that harder to split. There are two stages to the leaver. One for soft wood witch allows it to split faster, the other for hard wood and it needs a bit more torque to punch though.

Answer:

Are you pulling the leaver ALL the way towards you?

It should slow down and have full TQ when you do this.

If it does not, take it back to C-Tire.

Answer:

When you are pushing the power button move the leaver back and forth the fast speed is sometime hard to find and you do have to go slow first and then back the handle off to go fast

Chester2

Answer:

the mid point of the total throw of the lever is the fast speed 3 ton spliting force, the full throw is the slow speed 6.5 ton splitting force. You have probably been moving the lever too far.

Is this worth the extra $200 compared to the 4 ton?

Question:

Just bought the 4 ton and it's struggling with some of the really big diameter wood I'm splitting. Can't decide if i should take it back and spend the extra $200 for this one?

Answer:

Answer:

Take it back and get the 6 not sure if its the best but go big or go home LOL

Chester2

7 months ago

Answer:

Yes, in my view & experience. The 6.5 ton splitting force will split virtually any log the average strength man can lift on to the bed. Only a very unfavourable arrangement of knots in the log might defeat it.
I have rented nominally much more powerful splitters, but with no better productivity. Also the lack of noise and fumes is a joy, and electricity cost insignificant.

well , i haven't used the 4 ton , figured the 6.5 ton would do the job better. I split block that i can't lift , i roll them on . if that's any help !

I found the heavier duty splitter to be worth it. Not only more powerful but also a lot tougher.

Answer:

I have the 4 ton splitter and it can operate to -5 C. I don't know about the upper temperature range because we only use it in the autumn months.

The range guidelines should be in your operating manual.
