Forest Master FM10TW-7 7 Ton Log Splitter with Trolley Stand

Unlike previous reviewers, my machine did come with instructions, which were clear and easy to follow. It was easily assembled by one person. There are some very good design features of this machine, so there has obviously been input from people who have actually split logs before. The duo blade works very well, and binding of logs is less than on my single blade splitter. The duo blades are also slightly angled downwards, which means they works very well for logs that don't have square ends (which is most of them, in my experience!), and also it stops legs from racking upwards as the jaws close together. Cycle time is good, and much much quicker than my old manual hydraulic splitter. The length stop is a brilliant idea. The machine can take logs up to 460mm, but most are shorter than that, so using the stop saves you wasting time taking up the slack with shorter logs. The screw lock for this mechanism keeps coming loose, though, so a cam lock might be a better design. I was concerned that the frame looked a bit flimsy, but it's perfectly adequate. It's main weakness is that the locking castors are just underneath the fixed splitting wedge, which is where the newly split logs tend to fall. If you use the work table attachment this probably wouldn't be an issue. I didn't though, so heavy logs kept falling on the castors and bent them pretty badly. Another slight niggle is the short power lead. This is only a problem because your extension cable needs to be near the machine, and heavy logs can break it (and did!) when they fall off. As for capacity, this machine was able to deal with any logs I could put on it. I suspect that any logs that are too thick for it to break would be too heavy for me to lift on to the platform in the first place. I have used it to split up the wood from nine ash trees, and it's still going strong. I don't normally do product reviews (can't be bothered), but I was seriously impressed with this machine, and it is highly recommended.

The Splitter came with a stand which was an optional item and all the assembly instructions relate to assembling this stand which involved removing some of the parts already fitted to the main body of the splitter. None of this was difficult but it was the usual head scratching when it comes to assembly instructions. However, The Stand brings the unit up to a proper working height and makes life very easy. The Unit itself is very substantial and handled everything that I could throw at it. I split approx. 4-tons of wood in a morning which would have been impossible by any other means. I should have bought one years ago. - GREAT PIECE OF KIT

Good splitter, I borrowed an uprise 6 tonne which struggled but my new 7 tonne splitter did all the rounds the uprise one couldn't, as a mechanic I checked oil level etc had to put about 50 ml of oil to bring to correct level, but it would have been OK without doing this, I built mine with the table without the top for easy use its an excellent quality splitter,very strong construction and didn't even slow when going through some very knotty rounds that my mates uprise 6 tonne really struggled with but my new forest master went through the lot like a terminator, I love mine and will work it hard for years, I will do a video on YouTube in the summer showing how good it is and my new foot pedal mod for it.

Severe damage to the packaging, but miraculously the only damage was to the motor terminal box. Not bad enough to return it. Need to sort this type of issue Amazon. Very good product and much more efficient than my old 5 ton splitter.

I ordered the 7 ton version of this splitter. Delivery was prompt. The instructions could be better as there was a bag of bits in the box with no details of what to do with them! It took a bit of time and common sense to figure out where these bits were supposed to go. The guard was missing and there was no indication that the model I had was the 7 ton rather than the 5 ton. I queried this with the supplier who responded quickly, the guard was delayed due to Covid issues and the 7 ton can be identified by the extra welding on the back blade. Once the machine was set up it was easy to use and very effective at splitting all types of log , dry and wet, large and small. I got a winter's worth of log burner material cut up in a few hours. An excellent investment! Highly recommended.

Bought this after much research and reading many reviews. Used it today and did in 3 hrs what normally took me a day and a half, and i got to sit down through most of it. This log splitter makes short work of the logs and you get to cut them with reasonable precision. Just wish i had bought this a few years ago, it would of saved me so many aching backs. Having the two cutting blades certainly makes a huge difference as well. Just let down by very poor, ie nil, assembly instructions. Had to keep looking a a pic online to see where bits went.

Arrived earlier than quoted which was pleasing. Minor assembly problem as there was one bolt missing but was soon replaced from my own source. Construction was pretty straightforward, two people carrying out the work certainly helped as considerable weight involved. Once constructed the splitter make short work of both wet and dry wood I tested it with. Early days but assuming it continues to perform I have no hesitation in recommending this brilliant piece of kit.

Very easy to use, a very good log splitter. Plenty of power to split even the oldest of logs.👍

La fendeuse est vraiment super, le matériel est vraiment intéressant. Le problème ne se situe pas au niveau de l’objet commandé mais au niveau de la livraison! Celle-ci a été faite par la société fedex. En principe cette boite doit ou devrait fonctionner correctement mais dans mon cas on parle forcément de fedex belgique! Je n’ai pas le droit de dire la vérité sous peine de censure comme vous le savez je vais donc m’arrêter là mais imaginez le pire, avec toute la vulgarité que vous voulez et ce ne sera pas encore suffisant pour décrire au plus juste l’incompétence de ces gens....merci de m’avoir lu.

Artikel nooit geleverd gekregen. Èn volgens mij is Amazon verantwoordelijk voor de levering.nu maar afwachten wanneer ik mijn geld terug krijg.

ein tolles Gerät, Aufbau einfach, Handhabung einfach, sehr effektiv zum Spalten, wir sind begeistert, und würden das Gerät jederzeit wieder kaufen!

Raja perfectamente leños incluso de más de 40 cm de diámetro, de madera de encina, olivo y olmo. Lo pero son las instrucciones que están mal detalladas, así como las instrucciones de montaje de las patas. Al ser muy pesada la máquina, recomiendo instalar las patas con la máquina en el suelo y ajustándoles los elementos poco a poco, para después levantarla completa. Estoy muy satisfecho con la compra, que me ahorra un montón de trabajo.

In un prima recensione, pur essendo molto soddisfatto dalla buona qualità ed efficienza del prodotto, ho dato quattro stelle perché il carter della ventola di raffreddamento è arrivato ammaccato. Ho comunicato al venditore la presenza del danno e, con sollecitudine, ho ricevuto un nuovo carter. Adesso la soddisfazione è totale e posso dare le meritate 5 stelle. Se vi torna utile uno spaccalegna idraulico, non esitate ad acquistare il Forest Master.
