Champion's 28T gas log splitter powers through dense hardwood and oversized rounds with an 11 sec. cycle time and up to 300 cycles per hour under ideal conditions. Splits horizontally for standard rounds and vertically for logs too heavy to lift. 224cc engine, DOT-approved wheels, 2-year warranty.

Features

28 Tons of Splitting Force

Powers through dense hardwood, knotty rounds, and large-diameter logs that stop lesser splitters cold – backed by a reliable 224cc Champion engine

11 Sec. Cycle Time

Up to 300 cycles per hour under ideal conditions means a full cord moves faster, with a spring-centered auto-return valve that resets the wedge while you load the next log

Horizontal to Vertical

Splits standard rounds horizontally and converts to vertical for logs too heavy to lift and auto-lock with quick-lock pins secure the beam in either position

Built to Last the Season

Full I-beam frame, hardened tapered wedge, welded log strippers, and a 2-stage 14 GPM pump with internal strainer and external filter to protect the hydraulics

Champion Support

Backed by a 2 yr. limited warranty, FREE lifetime technical support from dedicated experts, and access to a network of service centers across the country.

Description

The Champion Power Equipment 28-ton gas-powered log splitter takes on the wood other splitters back away from – dense oak, knotty hickory, large-diameter rounds from a fallen tree, a full season's worth of firewood waiting in the yard. With 28 tons of splitting force and an 11 sec. cycle time, it delivers up to 300 cycles per hour under ideal conditions, so a long day of splitting becomes a focused afternoon.

The 224cc Champion OHV engine drives a 2-stage, 14 GPM gear pump and a spring-centered, auto-return control valve – push the handle forward to split, release, and the wedge resets while you load the next log. A hardened steel tapered wedge holds the log in place as it splits, and welded log strippers keep the beam clear. Handle logs up to 23.8 in. long, and when a round is too heavy to lift, convert from horizontal to vertical in seconds. The auto-lock horizontal pin and quick-lock vertical pin both engage with a spring-loaded pin for a positive hold in either orientation.

Built around a full I-beam frame with two reinforced log catchers, an internal oil strainer, and an external thread-on oil filter, this splitter is engineered to keep running through high-volume seasons. DOT-approved pneumatic wheels rated up to 45 MPH and a 2 in. ball hitch (Class 1 or higher) let you tow it to the woodpile or between properties.

EPA-certified and backed by a 2-year limited warranty, with FREE lifetime technical support from North American-based experts and access to a network of authorized service centers – giving you confidence in your purchase.
