What to Know About Log Splitters

The sound of fire crackling in the backyard or on a campsite on a pleasant and warm summer night is a great experience. However, before you can enjoy that scene, you need to have some firewood chopped up and ready to go. The process of getting that wood in the right condition can be made much easier through the use of a log splitter. Log splitters make the task of cutting wood much easier. At L-M Equipment Co. Inc., we offer durable and reliable log splitters for sale.

Electric Log Splitters

Using an electric log splitter is easier than using a manual or hydraulic version. The motor does the work and you drive hydraulic press by operating a pair of handles.

Cycle Time

Before you purchase one of these splitters, it is important to have some knowledge about the cycle time of the unit. This is the amount of time it takes to actually split a piece of wood. If the unit can split the wood in four to five seconds then that is what you have in terms of cycle time.

Some units may be advertised to provide cycle times of two seconds, but it may not be necessary to pay extra money just to achieve that short of the cycle. Bigger may not necessarily be better in every case when it comes to log splitters in your individual needs.
