Q: when to add hydronic fluid to this splitter

4 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: You should add hydraulic fluid to the Earthquake 120V Electric W500 Portable Log Splitter if the fluid level is low as indicated by the dipstick, or as part of routine maintenance every 150 hours of use. It is recommended to check the level before each use to prevent damage to the pump.

Q: Does the w500 need two hands to operate? Your QandAs answered yes to two hands and yes to one handed. Which is it

Anonymousa year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. According to the user manual, "The Earthquake 5-Ton Electric Log Splitter requires the use of both hands to operate. The user's left hand controls the hydraulic control lever, while the right hand controls the push button switch. The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either hand. The log pusher will return back to the starting position only after both hands release the controls." https://media.tractorsupply.com/is/content/TractorSupplyCompany/tsc/product/1/49/67/32/1496732_Man1.pdf?

Works great

2 months ago
I got this splitter anticipating it would not be enough power for some of my needs, but I could not beat the price. Well, it has exceeded my expectations and as long as you can determine where hard to split areas are, it does a great job! I am seriously impressed by how much it can do for the price. It is a great investment. Best of all it is quiet and easy to operate with little maintenance needs.

Perfect for what I needed!

This was so easy to use and I was able to split logs larger in diameter than I thought. Put it up on the tailgate of my truck and started splitting! It made the project fun.

Yes, I recommend this product.

5-ton Electric Log Splitter

6 months ago
After determining the splitter was shipped with hydraulic oil, we put it to work. Our need was to reduce the size of already split wood so we would have kindling for easier fire starting. It worked about 70% of the time but we found that pushing the wood toward the splitting wedge frequently resulted in the wood flying away several feet. The traditional design of larger splitters (pushing the wedge into the wood) is much safer. Tractor Supply handled the return with no hesitation and our purchase was credited immediately.

No, I do not recommend this product.
