HOR/VER WOODSPLITTER, W/LIGHTS

Wallenstein WX540L 20-Ton Horizontal/Vertical Towable Log Splitter combines a factory-installed light kit with a self-contained hydraulic system, making it a practical choice for transporting and processing firewood. Powered by a Vanguard 6.5 hp gasoline engine, the WX540L delivers 20 tons of split force and accepts logs through a 24-inch split opening. Its horizontal and vertical operating positions provide flexibility for different log sizes and handling conditions, while the towable chassis, 2-inch ball hitch, and highway lighting equipment support convenient movement between locations.

Reliable Splitting Performance

The WX540L is equipped with a two-stage hydraulic pump and direct-pressure operation for efficient log splitting. The average splitter cycle time is 6.62 seconds, with a full cycle time of 13.24 seconds. A 4-inch cylinder and 9-inch wedge provide the working components for its 20-ton splitting force, while the 24-inch bed height and wide log shelves help support logs during operation.

Hands-free return functionality helps streamline repeated splitting tasks. The wide wedge is designed for use with the splitter’s horizontal or vertical configuration, allowing the operator to select the orientation suited to the work at hand. The self-contained hydraulic system has a 3.5 US gallon capacity, so the splitter does not require a separate tractor hydraulic system for operation.

Horizontal and Vertical Operation

For many logs, the horizontal position provides a familiar working configuration. When handling larger or heavier rounds, the vertical splitting position can reduce the need to lift the log onto the bed. The WX540L’s horizontal/vertical design gives the operator both options in one towable machine.

Factory-Installed Lighting for Towing

The WX540L is the lights-equipped variant of the Wallenstein WX540. Its factory-installed light kit includes stop, turn-signal, and tail lights. Combined with its highway-towable design and 2-inch ball hitch, the lighting equipment supports transport behind a compatible towing vehicle.
