Splitting force, per the listing

The force the listing states at the wedge, next to 21 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 21 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 16.5 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 21 in suit the usual 16 in stove length.

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

On balance it covers both, as long as your rounds stay inside its stated limits.

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

Skip it if…

  • You want to roll heavy rounds instead of lifting them: the listing names no vertical position
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet
  • You burn furnace-length splits: 21 in is the stated maximum

What Mutaomay promises

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

  • Our high-efficiency hydraulic system with rapid auto-return gives you a quick 8-second cycle—ideal for heating season stock-ups or side hustle firewood sales.
  • With 10" rugged tires and a foldable handle, it’s easy to transport and set up on rough terrain.
  • Engineered for high-intensity use, its heavy-duty steel construction and alloy steel wedge ensure durability that lasts season after season.
  • Requires 1.6 gallons of AW32/AW46 hydraulic oil, 0.145 gallons of SAE15w-40 engine oil, and 0.74 gallons of ≥87 gasoline for optimal startup.

Their words and their figures, not our measurements.

Price and cost per stated ton

$749.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated ton of splitting force costs about $37. 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 Mutaomay 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter for 20 tons of splitting force and logs up to 21 in long. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 7.0/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Where it falls short: no vertical position in the listing, while most picks here tilt up. We'd pick it if you split a few cords of mixed hardwood every year; otherwise, put it next to the HUSHLIGHT 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Check the shipping weight before the truck shows up. 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 21 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.

The one thing we'd check first

One thing to settle before the Mutaomay 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter ships: check your wood, because 20 tons and 21 in logs have to match your rounds, knots and green wood included.

Before you buy

Your wood

Measure five typical rounds across the widest point, take the biggest, and enter it with the species in our tonnage planner.

Your firebox

It takes logs up to 21 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

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

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

We rate it 7.0/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

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

Its listing states 20 tons of splitting force, gas hydraulic drive, horizontal operation and a claimed 8-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 Mutaomay 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 Mutaomay 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter?

Its listing states 20 tons of splitting force, logs up to 21 in long, rounds up to 16.5 in across, a 8-second cycle, an auto-return ram and a two-stage pump. 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 Mutaomay 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter?

Your wood: measure five typical rounds across the widest point, take the biggest, and enter it with the species in our tonnage planner. Your firebox: it takes logs up to 21 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: 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: 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.

Where can I buy the Mutaomay 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter?

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.
