Description

The Champion Power Equipment 12-Ton Compact Gas-Powered Log Splitter with 2 in. Hitch adapter is designed to make your firewood preparation efficient and straightforward.

With a powerful 12-ton splitting force, this log splitter can tackle logs up to 19 in. long and 50 lb. in weight, allowing you to process larger pieces of wood quickly. The low-profile design makes it much easier to load a large log onto the splitting beam, and the integrated log cradle keeps the log safely in position.

The 18-second cycle time and skewed wedge to increase splitting efficiency means you spend less time waiting and more time splitting, capable of handling up to 200 cycles per hour. Ease of operation is another highlight, thanks to the detent control valve that allows for automatic return after each split.

Transporting this compact splitter is simple—just secure it to your vehicle’s 2 in. hitch adapter, similar to a hitch-mounted cargo carrier. Equipped with 10 in. tires, it’s easy to move and store.

The reliable Champion 79 cc OHV engine delivers reliable power, ensuring consistent performance whether you're splitting for a cozy fire or for heating your home. Plus, the 0.3 gal. gasoline capacity means you can work longer without frequent refueling. The hydraulic oil system has a 1.7 gal. oil capacity and operates at 4.9 GPM to power through tough logs.

EPA-certified, this model comes with a 2-year limited warranty, FREE lifetime technical support, and access to nationwide service centers—giving you peace of mind with your purchase.
