WX520 TALL, 30" BED HEIGHT

The Wallenstein WX520T is a tall-frame, 20-ton horizontal trailer log splitter designed for efficient firewood processing with a comfortable 28-inch bed height. Its self-contained hydraulic system, Vanguard 6.5 hp engine, direct pressure, wide wedge, and hands-free auto-return operation provide dependable splitting performance for demanding residential and property-maintenance applications. With a 24-inch split opening, 6.62-second average splitter cycle, and towable trailer configuration, the WX520T is suited to processing a wide range of firewood on-site or at a central work area.

Efficient Horizontal Log Splitting

The WX520T is built specifically for horizontal splitting. Its 20-ton split force and 4-inch hydraulic cylinder deliver the pressure needed for routine firewood processing, while the 9-inch wedge height and 24-inch split opening accommodate substantial logs within the machine’s rated working range. The tall-frame design places the 28-inch bed at a convenient working height, helping reduce the need to lift logs from ground level before splitting.

A two-stage gear pump supplies hydraulic flow at up to 11 gpm, supporting an average splitter cycle time of 6.62 seconds and a full cycle time of 13.24 seconds. The open-center valve uses an auto-return detent, allowing the cylinder to return hands-free after each split and helping maintain a consistent work rhythm.

Self-Contained Hydraulic Performance

Because the WX520T uses its own hydraulic system, the splitter is designed as a self-contained machine rather than requiring an external hydraulic power source. The hydraulic system has a 3 US gallon (11 L) capacity and uses a two-stage gear pump for the specified 11 gpm (47 L/min) flow. This configuration supports the splitter’s direct-pressure operation and repeatable cycle performance.

Towable Trailer Configuration

The Wallenstein WX520T combines splitting equipment with a compact trailer platform for convenient relocation between work areas. It uses a 2-inch ball hitch and has a listed tongue weight of 46 lb. The machine measures 72 x 42 x 45 inches overall and weighs 375 lb (170 kg). Its 4.80 x 8 tires and 42-inch overall width provide the specified transport configuration for moving the splitter as required.
