Opinion on Tractor Supply 35 ton log splitter, or recommendations on splitter with similar price.
clarkharms said:Personally I think 35 ton is overkill. I have a 22ton and made a 4 way wedge for it that it drives just fine. I haven't had the 4 way wedge for very long but the standard wedge has never been stalled in white oak. I would rather have a 22ton with a faster cycle time, like Baileys is selling, than a higher tonnage splitter.
clarkharms said:I am surprised a 22ton splitter couldn't handle the oak you were trying to split, I have only been able to stall my splitter once and I have tried several times by putting knots into the splitter the wrong way. Usually the wedge shears the wood until it gets far enough along so that the wood starts to split again. Usually in this type of wood the piece wil almost explode as the wedge breaks through. I guess there are many variables maybe my wedge design is better fo knotty wood than the one you were using?
