Tons, cycle time and how you will power it · review
A gas splitter with a stated 7.5 second cycle and logs up to 16 inches across, though the 52 lb in its table cannot be right.
BILT HARD states 18 tons, a 209cc 7 HP engine, a 10.5 GPM system, a 7.5 second cycle and logs up to 20 by 16 inches.
Rival gas machines weigh about 148 pounds, so 52 pounds is hard to believe. Plan for far more.
Run it outdoors only, wear eye and ear protection, keep your hands off the log, and let the engine cool before refueling.

No. The listing says hydraulic fluid and engine oil are not included.
The table says 52 pounds, which is unlikely for a 7 HP gas splitter. Check with the seller.
7.7/ 10
A good price for the figures. A short record and a wrong weight mean you should read the manual first.
