20-Ton Horizontal / Vertical Splitting
The WX540 is a towable 20-ton hydraulic splitter designed for routine firewood production, rental use and acreage owners. The beam pivots between horizontal and vertical positions so heavy rounds can be split without lifting them onto the bed.
- Split force: 20 ton
- Split opening: 24 in.
- Orientation: Horizontal / vertical
- Engine: Vanguard 6.5 HP / 203 cc
- Average split time: 6.62 sec.
- Full cycle: 13.24 sec.
- Hitch: 2-in. ball
- Weight: 470 lb
Operator-Friendly Design
Direct-pressure cylinder alignment, hands-free return and a wide wedge are intended to keep the workflow simple. Vertical positioning is particularly useful when rounds are too heavy to lift safely onto a horizontal beam.
