2-Way Log Splitter
All Split-Fire wood splitters feature the hallmark 2-way splitting action on both the forward and reverse stroke, doubling productivity. This is a vastly different concept compared to single stroke machines using a flat push plate or wedge. This design allows operators to split wood both ways, an appealing feature for wood producers, farmers or property owners looking for a fast and simple way to get log piles split
Low Friction Slider System
Split-Fire manufactures its log splitters using Low Friction Slider Pads made from Ultra-HighMolecular-Weight polyethylene, (UHMW) which is self-lubricating and is highly resistant to abrasion. They are applied long and wide on all four sides, running down the entire length of the bearing area. This prevents binding friction. Other log splitters often use a mechanical slide system that clamps around the edge of the steel I-beam. As this steel-on-steel slide system wears, it sharpens the edge of the I-beam to the point that it can be very sharp to work around. These systems quickly wear out needing far more maintenance.
Hydraulic Cylinder
The cylinders inside Split-Fire wood splitters are manufactured in-house and are fully protected inside the main frame of the splitter. In this position it can push straight and pull straight inline with the slider at all times reducing loss of power due to friction.
Hydraulic Reservoir
On self-contained wood splitters the reservoir is setup in such a way that the nose hitch of the splitter can be put on the ground to split wood. Although there is an angle to the machine it does not impede the hydraulic flow so it can still split wood without problems.
Design
Soft parts such as hoses, filter, and engine are positioned away from the splitting zone so they will not be struck by split wood. Moving the soft parts back also prevents damage from dropped logs when handling them.
Maintenance
All parts on are built with standard North American sourced components. Hydraulic cylinder seals are the standard o-ring kits found in many cylinders. Same day parts ordering and technical support available factory direct.
