Electric log splitters typically have somewhere between 6 and 10 tons of driving force, which is enough to split logs up to around 12 inches in diameter.Dec 13, 2021

The Husqvarna S427 log splitter has been designed with productivity and dependability as the driving factors. The Kohler XT engine gives you 27 tons of splitting force at your disposal, so you can handle even the toughest logs with ease.

This powerful machine handles logs up to 24 inches long, weighing up to 100 pounds. Twenty-seven tons of splitting capacity deliver the power you need.

The thicker a log is, the more wood there is to force apart on either side of the grain. Logs that are larger in diameter need more pressure to split. That's why a 4-ton log splitter will work well for 6" branches, but a 24" tree trunk will require at least the force of a 20-ton splitter.

One more benefit: gas-powered kinetic wood splitters are incredibly energy-efficient tools that use less fuel than their hydraulic counterparts. Obviously kinetic splitters have a lot to offer. However, in certain cases, a hydraulic splitter still might be the better option for some people.

The horizontal mount was also serviceable, and the logs stayed in the track more readily when it was horizontal. Both splitting positions are good aspects of the Black Diamond; which position you prefer comes down to whether you can lift the logs you've cut to the horizontal position.

How much is a rick of firewood? Is it half a cord? No, rick is actually a description of the way a cord of wood is stacked. A cord of wood measures 4x4x8 feet, or 128 cubic feet, and a standard cord is piled in a 4x8-foot stack, or rick.
