Built for Mobile, Self-Contained Splitting
The WXT20H combines a self-contained engine and hydraulic system with a towable chassis, making it suitable for moving between rural properties, woodlots, and firewood work areas. The horizontal bed is positioned at a 27.5-inch (69.85 cm) height, providing a defined working platform for horizontal splitting. Its wide log shelves help keep material supported near the splitting area while the two-way action allows the splitting mechanism to work in both directions.
A 4-inch (10 cm) cylinder and 9.375-inch (23.8 cm) wedge height are matched to the splitter’s 20-ton capacity. The hydraulic system has a 3.75 US gallon (14 L) capacity. The WXT20H has a total weight of 523 lb (237 kg), with overall dimensions of 90.7 x 37.6 x 45.4 inches (230 x 95.5 x 115 cm).
