“…my Split-Fire was delivered today and as anticipated, it’s a very fine machine. I already have most of my wood split down for the season. I accomplished this over the weekend, This is a success! This splitter made this a simple, easy, and painless job. To be honest it’s a smaller and lighter weight machine than anything I have ever owned in the past. But all of this means nothing. Its much easier to move around as the 2265 is perfectly equal to my needs here with the type of wood I split. Yes, for my self it was quite a substantial investment $-wise. But on no level am I sensing I’d gone to far or made a mistake. This machine is exactly what I was looking for! Thumbs up for the Split-Fire 2265!”   ~ Charles Crossman, Wheaton Settlement, New Brunswick, Canada Owner of Split-Fire 2265 Gas Powered Log Splitter

“…I have owned a Split-Fire splitter since 2012. It is in constant use and always runs flawlessly. This splitter is very efficient and never quits, I just change the plug and oil every season. The other day a log broke off the valve handle. When I called into Split-Fire the customer service could not have been more accommodating. I love my Split-Fire and hope to get years and years of use out of it.” ~Martin Porter, Ontario, Canada Owner of SPLIT-FIRE® 3255 2-Way Gas Powered Log Splitter [Formerly Model 255]

“…we have had Split-Fire log splitters in our rental fleet for over 10 years. They are most certainly the best splitter available on the market as far as quality and performance go. The support from Split-fire is also a step above the rest, and I have nothing bad to say for their team or product. Keep up the good work guys!” ~ Allan Attwood / Cooper Equipment Rental, Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada

“…I finally got the splitter all connected and was actually able to test it out a few weeks ago, it worked flawlessly, and I was pretty impressed with its efficiency. Believe it or not, I’m actually looking forward to using it more aggressively splitting wood for the winter. I’ll keep you posted, but my initial thoughts, great build quality and worth the money!

“I would like to thank the entire crew at Split-Fire. Your conceptual designers have come up with a unique, and efficient means of splitting firewood. Your engineering department has done a superb job of bringing strength, and longevity to this product. They have made provisions to efficiently utilize the engines power, and simplify maintenance. The sales staff provided accurate communication between myself, and the fabricators to fulfill my order … I highly recommend Split-Fire’s products, and people. Quality, longevity and efficiency, were the highest priorities driving my decision. Split-Fire won my business for the following reasons: purchasing a Split-Fire wood splitter is a substantial investment; however, when longevity, reliability, efficiency, fuel cost, maintenance, and operator comfort / fatigue are considered, Split-Fire brings value to your dollars. Split-Fire Wood splitters split in both directions. The fact that the splitting wedge moves through the wood, rather than the wood being pushed through the wedge, means that the split wood remains right in front of the operator ready to be split further, or stacked without chasing, or bending over to pick wood up from the ground, saving time, and your back. The optional hydraulic lifting table is well worth the investment. This will allow those of us who are getting a little older to continue gathering firewood for several years beyond our youth.” ~ Jim Scott, Townsend, Montana, United States Owner of Split-Fire 3265HT 2-Way Hydraulic Log Splitter with 36” Stroke and Log Lifter

“…we have had our Split-Fire splitter for over 17 years and counting. Every once in a while when you reflect on things you think ‘that is one of the best investments I ever made’.  That is definitely the case here. We live in southern Michigan.  We split 5 or more full cords of hardwoods every year.  It splits everything.  It starts every time. And it is reasonable to handle and operate.  Even at 70 years old, I can lift it by the tongue (with cylinder retracted) and walk it around when necessary. Too many people equate size, horsepower and hydraulics (cylinder size and tons of splitting force) with ability/capacity.  But this unit is elegant in its simplicity. It has a smallish 9 hp Honda with a 2×24 hydraulic cylinder.  I have yet to feed it something it could not handle.  The secret is in the construction of the log stops.  They impart mechanical leverage/force that when coupled with the hydraulic force is unbeatable.  The two way splitting action is a dream.  Theoretically, the retract direction has a little less force.  But from a practical standpoint there is no difference.  And running the cylinder in a piece of rectangular steel virtually eliminates any opportunity to bend the cylinder shaft. Something that can unfortunately happen on one of the brutes, with a huge engine, large cylinder and standard log stops. The icing on the cake is the hydraulic lift.  For pieces up to a certain size leave it in the fully raised position and stack your material to be split on your “temporary work table”.  When you get into the bigger material roll them up to the lowered lift and raise them with the lift.  In either case, then get to work splitting in both directions.  With the lift/table the work stays directly in front of you at all times…..no falling to the ground off the back side or the end. One option that I highly recommend is larger tires.  It raises the level of the splitter and eliminates a lot of bending.  And it makes transporting more agreeable.”   ~John and Pat Tubergen, South Michigan, United States Owner of SPLIT-FIRE® 4290 [Formerly Model 290] Gas Powered 2-Way Log Splitter
