If you have a fireplace or you have woods in your backyard you may already have experience gathering firewood and possibly even splitting logs with a traditional ax. However, if you need to handle a steady supply of logs, you may want to consider purchasing a device that will make your life in this respect much easier with an electric log splitter. At L-M Equipment Co. Inc., we offer durable and reliable log splittersfor sale.
Operation of an Electric Log Splitter
The work of an electric firewood splitter or otherwise referred to as a general wood splitter functions in quite the same way as a human does with an ax. However, these devices utilize a hydraulic pumping system that transfers the log into the blade or causes a way to swing onto the log, depending upon the actual design of the unit. Typically, your responsibility with one of these devices is to safely operate it by placing logs onto the machine for splitting.
Horizontal and Vertical Splitters
The majority of homeowners who purchase would splitters purchase the horizontal variety. These horizontal machines are often less expensive and process smaller logs. So, unless you have larger size logs for splitting, you may be just fine using a horizontal splitter.
On the other hand, vertical splitters are designed to handle logs of varying sizes. As such, these splitters are generally more expensive and used often by professional tree removal and debris clearing services.
