Do I Really Need A Log Splitter?
When you’re looking to buy a log splitter, you need to consider how much wood you’re going to be splitting each year. If you’re only going to split a few cords a year, you can get away with a light-duty model, but if you’re going to be splitting lots of wood, it’s worth investing in a high-duty cycle model.
To learn more about the best wood to burn, you should know that there are two basic categories: hardwoods and softwoods. As the name implies, hardwoods are denser and therefore tougher. Softwoods have more space between the wood fibers, making them softer and less dense. They're also less hot when burned. Hardwoods like oak and hickory produce the most heat because they're tough and dense. You will want to burn them whenever possible. However, you’ll need a splitter that can generate a significant amount of splitting force, or tonnage.
The amount of moisture in a log affects how quickly and evenly it will burn. It also effects its hardness. Green logs are wet and hard to split, but if you let them dry for six months or more, then splitting will be easier. However, you can accelerate the seasoning process by increasing the wood’s surface area. If you’re going to split green wood, you’ll need more pressure. Therefore, look for a machine with a lot of splitting force.
The power needed to split and quarter logs depends largely on their thickness. If the average log you encounter is less than 12 inches in diameter, you can get away with a splitter that produces 16 tons of pressure for green wood, or seven tons if you took the time to dry the wood. But if you’re going to be working with green logs double that size you’ll be best suited with a unit that produces 30 tons of force or more.
When a hydraulic ram is used, its pump is responsible for providing the fluid it needs to do its work. The pump must suck in fluid from a reservoir, and then force the liquid into the ram. Electric motors are a great choice for this because they are silent and can create incredible amounts of torque in a small package. However, you need to be close to a power source.
