Product Description
When you need the most powerful horizontal log splitter available, the NorthStar 42-Ton delivers. Built around a Honda GX630 engine, a massive 6 x 30-inch stroke cylinder, and 42 tons of continuous splitting force, this is a commercial-grade machine engineered for operators who process serious volumes of large diameter hardwood every single day.
The hydraulically adjustable 4-way wedge switches from 4-way to 2-way splitting in seconds — no manual wedge swapping, no stopping the workflow. Split large rounds into 4 pieces per stroke when you need volume, or switch to 2-way for the toughest knotty logs. The included hydraulic log lift handles logs up to 660 lbs so your operators never have to manually load heavy rounds onto the 8-inch industrial I-beam.
The quad-filtering hydraulic system protects against contaminants at four points — most competitors use one. The large hydraulic reservoir keeps fluid cooler and extends its life significantly. The heavy-duty 8-inch I-beam with heavy plate steel reinforcement is overbuilt for long-term daily commercial use without bending or flexing under load.
The Ultra-Tow package with torsion suspension axle, 15-inch high-speed tires, integrated trailer lights, and a 2-inch coupler means you can get this machine to any job site fast and safely. At 2,435 lbs ship weight this is a serious piece of equipment — requires dock or forklift for unloading. Not for sale in California.
Ideal For: Commercial firewood producers, logging operations, large property owners, and serious firewood businesses that process large diameter hardwood at high volume and need the most powerful, best-equipped horizontal log splitter available.
