Product Description
This is not just a bigger log splitter — it is a smarter one. The NorthStar Deluxe Horizontal Log Splitter with Log Lift features a Concentric hydraulic pump that automatically senses when it is or is not piercing a log and adjusts flow and pressure accordingly — reducing travel time and increasing productivity on every single stroke without any input from the operator.
With 37 tons of splitting force from a 5 x 30-inch stroke cylinder and a Honda GX390 commercial engine, this machine handles logs up to 24 inches in diameter and 31 inches long without hesitation. The included hydraulic log lift hoists logs up to 340 lbs onto the beam — no manual loading, no back strain — and doubles as a convenient staging table for smaller logs between splits.
The exclusive quad filtration system protects the hydraulic system at four points — a 100-mesh suction strainer pre-filter, a 40-micron breather, a 10-micron return-line filter, and a magnetic drain plug with tank baffling that captures metal particles before they can circulate. This level of protection is simply not found on other splitters at this price point and is a major reason NorthStar machines last so much longer than the competition.
Built-in log cradles center logs on the wedge and prevent them from rolling off the beam. The industrial-grade I-beam backbone, Ultra-Tow Ultra-Pack towing package with torsion axle, 12-inch high-speed tires, integrated lights, and 2-inch coupler round out a machine that is as easy to get to the job site as it is to run when you get there.
Tested extensively at NorthStar's facility in Faribault, MN and in the field — built to a standard the competition has been chasing for over 30 years.
Ideal For: Serious homeowners, firewood producers, farmers, ranchers, and property owners who want a premium horizontal log splitter with a smart hydraulic system, hydraulic log lift, and the proven reliability of a Honda engine built to last for years of demanding use.
