Best Answer

A hydraulic log splitter is capable of splitting large amounts of firewood with ease. These machines can be used to split both hardwood and softwood, along with pieces containing knots which are often difficult to split manually.

Hydraulic splitters are typically powered by a four stroke gasoline engine. You can also purchase a model that hooks up to a tractors hydraulic system, allowing it to be powered by the tractor.

Hydraulic oil contained within the machine is pumped though a valve that is controlled by the operator. This pressurized oil operates a hydraulic cylinder that splits the log. Models containing a two stage pump allow the hydraulic cylinder to operate a two speeds. This decreases the time required for the hydraulic cylinder to cycle allowing you to split more wood in less time.
