Splitting force, per the listing

The force the listing states at the wedge, next to 20 in logs and a 8-second claimed cycle. Whether it is enough depends on species, diameter and moisture; our tonnage planner turns your wood into a rough band.

What it has going for it

What changes at the woodpile

20 tons, per the listing. Our planner rates that for rounds up to about 18 in of seasoned softwood, or about 12 in of green hardwood. Most backyard firewood lives in that range. Tonnage is the maker's rating at the ram, not a measured result, and our tonnage guide explains why two "20-ton" machines can feel different.

Logs up to 20 in. Fine for the usual 16 in stove length, with a little slack for the chainsaw cuts that wander. Measure your firebox before you measure anything else.

Up to 16 in across. The diameter limit is what rules a round out before the force even matters. Bigger rounds get quartered with a maul first.

Stove wood or big rounds?

For stove wood, logs up to 20 in suit the usual 16 in stove length. It runs from a household outlet, right in the garage doorway. At 133 lb stated, two people can carry it to wherever the wood is.

For big rounds, 20 tons leaves headroom for knotty, green hardwood.

On balance it is a stove-wood splitter; whole trunk sections are another machine's job.

Great for you if…

  • You split a few cords of mixed hardwood every year
  • You'd rather load rounds than wait on the ram: 8 s per cycle, claimed
  • It has to fit in the shed and come out again

Skip it if…

  • There is no outlet within cord reach of your woodpile
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet
  • You burn furnace-length splits: 20 in is the stated maximum

What Generic promises

The seller states, word for word, in the 20-Ton Electric Splitter (7 HP Motor) listing:

  • This green steel log splitter delivers 20 tons of splitting force via a 7HP gas engine, ideal for firewood, forestry, and harvesting.
  • Built with a rugged steel full beam and wedge, this splitter withstands heavy use while maintaining a portable 133-lb design.
  • The 8-second auto-return cycle and 11 GPM hydraulic pump ensure rapid, continuous splitting, while the 7HP engine’s linear power curve prevents stalling on tough logs.
  • The horizontal design and clear control layout make it accessible for both professionals and DIYers, ensuring secure, efficient operation.

Their words and their figures, not our measurements.

Price and cost per stated ton

$599.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated ton of splitting force costs about $30. That puts it in the cheaper third of the 49 complete splitters we have a price for.

Cost per ton is only a rough yardstick: log length, cycle time and the engine count as much as the force.

A better fit for your woodpile?

Need more force for knotty wood? The BILT HARD 40-Ton Gas Log Splitter (9.1/10) states 40 tons.

Rather roll the big rounds than lift them? The BILT HARD 27-Ton Towable Gas Splitter (7.7/10) tilts to vertical, per its listing.

Our take

The verdict

We like the 20-Ton Electric Splitter (7 HP Motor) for 20 tons of splitting force and logs up to 20 in long. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 6.6/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Honestly, the catch: tonnage is the maker's rating at the ram, so knots, species and green wood decide what really splits. We'd pick it if you split a few cords of mixed hardwood every year; otherwise, put it next to the PPOLB 7-Ton Electric Log Splitter first.

Living with it

Delivery day

At 133 lb (about 60 kg), two people get it from the truck to the shed. Read the manual's start-up page before the first round.

The first cord

Start with straight, seasoned rounds and learn where the wedge likes to bite. At 20 tons, knotty crotches are where you will find the limit. Anything longer than 20 in goes back to the chainsaw.

The routine

Plug in, split, unplug. No fuel to go stale between sessions. Keep the beam clean and check the oil level as the manual says.

Off-season

Clean the beam, cover it and store it dry. Our maintenance and hydraulic oil guide has the yearly routine.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the 20-Ton Electric Splitter (7 HP Motor): check your outlet, because an electric motor needs a circuit and a cord the manual allows, near where the wood is.

Before you buy

Your wood

20 tons stated. Measure your typical round, note the species and whether it is green or seasoned, and run it through our tonnage planner. The answer is a band, not a promise.

Your firebox

It takes logs up to 20 in. Measure the stove or the furnace, then cut an inch shorter. Our cord calculator helps you size the winter's pile.

The outlet

Find the breaker for the outlet you'll use and check nothing else heavy shares it. Our gas vs electric guide explains why that matters.

Oil, fuel and the first start

Check whether hydraulic oil ships in the tank or separately. Read the start-up and safety pages of the manual before the first round. Our safety guide is a ten-minute read.
