The LS550 Log Splitter has the capability to split quickly and efficiently large volumes of logs up to 63.5cm/25" diameter. The powerful 6 hp Briggs & Stratton combined with a splitting force of 25 tons means that even difficult wood types i.e. knotted oak can be dealt with easily. The LS550 is used in either a horizontal l position. Large pneumatic tyres and a tow bar means that the unit can be easily transported (not road legal). Please note that this product requires hydraulic oil to the value of approximately £100
