Awesome splitter
Bought the 15 ton, after splitting for 35 years from Axe to Hydraulic this makes me smile with every cycle. Broke a tooth on the rack and Forestwest sent the part fast. Now that's a great company. 10/10

Machine works well - very quiet; much faster than splitting by hand; you will not be disappointed
Overall, my experience was excellent. I am in the Pacific Northwest and was splitting fir and pine that had been seasoned for one year. The machine easily split everything that I put on it - including rounds 15 inches in diameter. One comment. I am a frail older guy and I work alone. I had to transport this thing in my old Range Rover between cities. Although I could manoevre it,, it took all my initiative and smarts to get it in and out of the truck on my own without breaking my neck or the machine. Its pretty heavy and awkward to move. I managed ok - got it from A to B and back - but, be aware - you really want two - or even four - guys to do this in a non-insane way.

Good machine, handle is meehh.
I so far, like the unit. I was expecting a flimsier piece of equipment, but it is heavy, and while some of the welds are not that beautiful, I am not concerned about it breaking/failing. The only thing I find harsh is the engagement handle. You don’t need to be hard on it.. but you need to be fast… otherwise it will grind the gears or kick back which is pretty uncomfortable. Beyond that, It is plenty strong, there is a fuse on the machine itself, so you don’t pop a breaker… it is almost silent.. and if it fits in there.. you should be able to make firewood with it..

Forestwest 15 Ton log splitter
I watched the video and wasn’t sure if it could actually work as fast as it does on very hard ash wood. It does. I couldn’t believe how fast it split pieces up to 16” round. One of my only issues I had was the built in breaker would pop every time it would get stuck in a knot. Not a big issue, could be reset in 15 seconds. Better then burning out the motor. Very impressed, glad I spent the money on this unit. Hope to use for many years to come.
