Champion Power Equipment 27-Ton Horizontal/Vertical Full Beam Gas Log Splitter with Auto Return

The Champion Power Equipment 27-Ton Horizontal/Vertical Full Beam Gas Log Splitter provides heavy splitting capacity for homeowners and property owners processing large amounts of firewood. Driven by a 224cc single-cylinder OHV engine, it delivers 27 tons of force to handle demanding logs.

Flexibility is a key benefit, as the unit converts from horizontal to vertical operation in seconds. This allows you to roll massive logs directly into place without lifting them onto the beam. Productivity remains high with a 16-second cycle time, an auto-return valve engineered for over 220 cycles per hour, and an expanded operator area designed for easy movement.

For transport, the unit features an extended tongue, a 2-inch ball hitch coupler, and 16-inch tires, though towing speed is capped at 45 mph. Additionally, operating a gas engine involves regular fuel management and motor maintenance that electric models avoid.

Verdict: This unit is well suited for property owners who cut heavy timber and need efficient, high capacity log processing. Its quick vertical setup and towing capability make it a strong option for tackling large seasonal firewood piles.
