Bushranger LS302 30 Ton Log Splitter with Kohler SCH395 Engine

The only comment, I would make is that the stand at the front doesn’t go low enough to hitch to my vehicle, Paul from Melbourne has a solution to that, put the splitter in the vertical position and it takes the weight off the hitch, thanks. Otherwise I cant fault it, all the rounds that have been in the woodshed for years because my other two splitters couldn’t split them [i.e. my left and right hand] are now split. They were knotty blue gum so there’s nothing this splitter can’t handle. Even my axe has become obsolete, I can split a barrow load of kindling in no time. I burn 12-15 ton per season so I know about getting enough wood in the shed. The work height is perfect for me and the motor starts easily.

I purchased the 30 T model about 18 months ago. It’s a great machine, very reliable and robust. The kohler 9.5 is a great power plant, always starts first pull. I haven’t found any timber here in the Snowy mountains that it hasn’t split,. There’s been a few bits that made it work, but it hasn’t been beaten. My only gripe is the wheel base being too narrow when towing behind the ute. Because the unit is too heavy, towing on anything other that flat bitumen presents a tip risk.
