WOODSPLITTER 9-HP 4.5X36 LIFT

The Wallenstein WX960 25 Ton Horizontal Towable Log Splitter is a self-contained hydraulic splitter designed for efficient firewood and log processing. Its horizontal 36 in (91 cm) split opening, integrated hydraulic log lifter, wide wedge, and 25-ton split force help handle large logs while reducing the need for manual lifting. Built in a towable trailer configuration with a 2 in ball hitch, the WX960 can be moved to the work area and operated without a tractor PTO or external tractor hydraulic connection.

Designed for Practical Log Handling

The integrated hydraulic log lifter is a central feature of the WX960. With a 750 lb lift capacity, it assists with raising heavy logs onto the 25 in high splitter bed, reducing the amount of manual handling required before splitting. Once positioned, the horizontal bed, wide log shelves, and direct-pressure hydraulic system support a consistent splitting workflow.

The splitter uses a two-stage gear pump rated at 16 gpm (60.5 L/min). Its 4.5 x 36 in (11.4 x 91 cm) cylinder bore and stroke specification supports the listed 25-ton splitting performance and 36 in split opening. A W4130 4-way wedge is listed as an accessory for this model.

Engine Information

The supplied product name identifies the WX960 as a 9-HP model, matching older Wallenstein catalogue information that specifies a Honda GX270, 270 cc, 9 hp engine. Current manufacturer-listed information identifies a Vanguard 10 hp, 305 cc engine. Because engine power is dependent on the production year or variant, the applicable engine specification should be confirmed for the individual unit.
