Log Splitter needed!

[RideSand]

Hey guys - anyone have a log splitter in the phoenix area that I can use, rent, or buy? There are a few out there that Im looking at, but cant really buy the one I want new. I have a good amount of mesquite to split and instead of going to the big stores or buying used from some rando on Offer Up or something, figured I would check in here first. Thanks!

Tell me about yours! I would like to buy one, just cant afford new prices. There are a few used ones Im eye balling in the 25-28 ton range.

I bought my 27 ton unit from lowes. I think it has a 5 or6.5hp motor on it. I have used mine a lot. I think it was 5-7 years ago and I paid $1100 new

Mine is a 24 ton unit. Splits wood like butter! Peace

Yea all the higher end ones are well over $1,000 it looks like. The electric ones are tempting but you just know they are trash....

Splitting wood warms you twice: once when splitting, once when burning.  Get a good maul, a sledge and a wedge and take out your day's frustration on that firewood. :biggrin:

Was waiting for someone to bring that one up. I will be splitting my starter wood when needed - thats about it haha. If anyone would like to come split it for me, using the method mention above, youre welcome to take half of it once its all split!

Call Home Depot, rent one for the day you can split a lot of wood with one in a day that's for sure.  Then when you take it back buy the maul, sledge and the wedge.  two logs a day and you will never run out again.

When I needed one a few years ago I rented one from A to Z rents.  It had a hitch on the end of it so I towed it with my Jeep.

I built my own from an 8' long piece of 15"-5/8" wall H-pile. It weighs about as much as a Volkswagen and could also split one in half
