Log splitters are a whole other animal. About like buying a vehicle, in that there are bells and whistles available galore. Somewhere in the mix there's a defining line between logsplitters, and wood processors. A processor is a serious piece of equipment, and requires a correspondingly serious prying open of the wallet.

If you're looking for a basic, vertical/horizontal splitter, check out the Oregon brand at the dealer where you bought the Bearcat. If they don't have one on the floor they should be able to show you some specs on them.

One of my uncles spent over 10 grand and took a trip up north to purchase a processor. It's a firewood factory on a trailer frame.


I still stifle a laugh when someone calls in with a "Doctor Trimmer" here in the shop.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
