Splitting force, per the listing

The force the listing states at the wedge, next to 20 in logs and a 7.5-second claimed cycle. Whether it is enough depends on species, diameter and moisture; our tonnage planner turns your wood into a rough band.

Why it made our list

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.

7.5 s cycle, claimed. Quick for a hydraulic ram. In real life your loading speed sets the pace, not the stopwatch.

Stove wood or big rounds?

For stove wood, logs up to 20 in suit the usual 16 in stove length. At 130 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 want our #1 20–30 ton gas log splitter
You split a few cords of mixed hardwood every year
You'd rather load rounds than wait on the ram: 7.5 s per cycle, claimed
You trust a long track record: 349 buyer reviews

Skip it if…

You burn furnace-length splits: 20 in is the stated maximum
Your rounds are too heavy to lift onto a beam: the listing names no vertical position
You want to split in the garage: a gas engine runs outdoors only

What Landworks promises

The seller states, word for word, in the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter listing:

SPECS - Built with a heavy-duty 7HP gas engine, powering our 20-ton rated system, utilizes the highly ultra reliable and trusted 2-Stage Bucher Hydraulic Gear Pump.
Our 7HP Gas Engine provides a smooth linear power curve to help avoid clunky performance during operation.

Their words and their figures, not our measurements.

Power, transport and what's in the box

What the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter listing names:

7 HP gas engine
Logs up to 20 in long
Horizontal operation
Auto-return ram
Two-stage pump
130 lb stated

Not in the box, per the listing: Hydraulic oil (AW32 recommended).

That is what the listing says comes, or doesn't come, with the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter. Check the crate on delivery day, before the cardboard goes on the burn pile.

Plan the unloading, the oil and the path to the woodpile before the freight truck shows up.

Price and cost per stated ton

$959.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated ton of splitting force costs about $48. 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

Of everything in our 20–30 ton gas log splitter ranking, the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter is the one we'd order first. 349 buyers back that up with 4.4/5, about as reassuring as a review record gets. Where it falls short: tonnage is the maker's rating at the ram, so knots, species and green wood decide what really splits. With your woodpile matching its numbers, this is where we'd put our money. If your numbers don't fit, the BILT HARD 22-Ton Gas Log Splitter is the next one to look at.

Living with it

Delivery day

At 130 lb (about 59 kg), two people get it from the truck to the shed. The listing promises little assembly. Fill the hydraulic oil first: the listing says it ships without. 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

Fresh fuel, the oil level checked, a look at the hoses before each session. With auto-return, the rhythm becomes load, lever, stack.

Off-season

Run the tank dry or add stabiliser, then clean the beam, cover it and store it dry. Our maintenance and hydraulic oil guide has the yearly routine.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.4/5, a strong record, right on this ranking's 4.4 average. And with 349 reviews behind it, that number is hard to argue with.

The numbers

Buyer rating: 4.4/5
Reviews: 349
This ranking's average: 4.4/5

The one thing we'd check first

Before you add the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter to your cart: check the hydraulic oil, because the listing says it ships without and names AW32, so the first Saturday ends early if nobody orders it.

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.

Delivery and moving it

130 lb (about 59 kg) stated. Freight usually stops at the curb. Plan who unloads the crate, and how the machine gets from the driveway to the woodpile. Our towing and delivery guide covers hitches and roads.

Oil, fuel and the first start

Order the grade the manual names, fill to the mark with the ram retracted, and bleed the air as described before the first split. Our maintenance and hydraulic oil guide walks through it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter any good?

We rate it 9.2/10 (excellent), #1 of 5 in our 20–30 ton gas log splitter ranking. It is based on 349 buyer reviews averaging 4.4/5 and the specifications stated in the listing, plus our editors' read of how it compares with the other machines in that ranking.

What force and log size does the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter state?

Its listing states 20 tons of splitting force, gas hydraulic drive, 20 in maximum log length, horizontal operation and a claimed 7.5-second cycle. Those are the maker's claims, not our measurements, and more tons does not guarantee an easier morning with your wood. Our tonnage planner gives a rough band for your rounds.

Where can the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter be used?

It is listed with a gas engine, so it runs outdoors only; fuel, engine oil, hydraulic fluid and service follow the manual of the exact model. Planning to move it behind a vehicle? A hitch on the listing is not a road approval, so check the manual and your local rules first.

What do you get with the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter?

Its listing states 20 tons of splitting force, logs up to 20 in long, a 7.5-second cycle, an auto-return ram, a two-stage pump and 130 lb (about 59 kg). These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how it handles your knottiest oak and how the controls feel after two hours can't be read from a listing.

What should I check before ordering the Landworks 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter?

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.

Delivery and moving it: 130 lb (about 59 kg) stated. Freight usually stops at the curb. Plan who unloads the crate, and how the machine gets from the driveway to the woodpile. Our towing and delivery guide covers hitches and roads. Oil, fuel and the first start: order the grade the manual names, fill to the mark with the ram retracted, and bleed the air as described before the first split. Our maintenance and hydraulic oil guide walks through it.

We link to the exact listing on Amazon, where today's price, stock and seller apply. It is an affiliate link, and it has no effect on the rating.
