Product Description
The SideTool Mechanical Wood Splitter significantly boosts efficiency, allowing you to split wood without the need for manual lifting. Depending on the size and power of your machine, you can split rounds from 30 to 42 inches in diameter and lengths between 12 and 30 inches. The larger and heavier the machine, the easier it becomes to split even the toughest woods, including green wood, knotty wood, and hardwoods—up to 16 pieces per minute.
Each splitter is custom-built in the United States, using high-grade, professional-strength steel. While the ideal machine size is between 3 and 8 metric tons, even 4-ton machines handle the most challenging woods with ease. We also offer splitters designed for machines up to 15 tons. Plus, the splitter’s design allows you to stack wood in a pile, bin, or trailer, or even directly inside your wood shed—eliminating the need to manually carry pieces around.
The wood splitter easily attaches to either the hydraulic or non-hydraulic thumb of your mini-excavator and utilizes your existing coupler system. Installation and removal take just a few minutes. While optimal performance is achieved with 3-6 metric ton machines, our customers successfully use the splitter with machines as small as 1.5 tons and as large as 7 tons. What sets this apart is the ability to use the splitter to lift the split wood directly onto a pile or into your truck bed, eliminating the need for additional labor to move the pieces.
