Description

The Wallenstein WX970 25 Ton Horizontal Towable Log Splitter is a self-contained, gasoline-powered wood splitter designed for efficient firewood processing at home, on the farm, or at a woodlot. Its 25-ton split force and 48 in (122 cm) split opening provide substantial working capacity, while the integrated hydraulic log lifter helps raise larger rounds onto the splitting bed. A Vanguard 10 hp (305 cc) engine powers the self-contained hydraulic system, eliminating the need for tractor PTO operation. With a 2 in ball hitch, towable configuration, wide log shelves, and horizontal operating position, the WX970 is built for convenient transport and organized splitting.

Efficient Log Splitting Performance

The WX970 combines a 25-ton splitting force with a 48 in splitting bed to accommodate substantial logs. Its wide wedge and direct-pressure hydraulic system are designed for effective force transfer during operation. The two-stage hydraulic pump supports efficient cycle performance, with an average splitter cycle time of 10.48 seconds and a full cycle time of 20.96 seconds.

The 4.5 in (11 cm) cylinder and 10 in (25 cm) wedge height provide the core working dimensions for the splitting system. Hands-free return helps streamline repeated splitting cycles, while the wide log shelves provide additional support and working space around the bed.

Integrated Hydraulic Log Lifter

Loading large or heavy rounds can be one of the most demanding parts of firewood preparation. The WX970 includes an integrated hydraulic log lifter to assist with placing logs onto the 25 in (64 cm) bed height. This feature helps reduce manual lifting during setup for each split and supports a more practical workflow when processing larger rounds.
