Get to work with the YARDMAX 40-Ton Gas-Powered Log Splitter. This 40-ton full-beam high-powered wood splitter is sturdy enough and powerful enough to handle heavy-duty log splitting jobs. The patent-pending U-beam design is significantly stronger and more durable than the typical I beam found elsewhere. Powered by a Briggs and Stratton Cr950 engine, and ergonomically designed for optimal performance, safety and ease of use, this horizontal and vertical log splitter cuts through wood effortlessly and efficiently, log after log. The size and weight make it a great option for frequent towing. Other features included as standard are protective log cradles on both sides, solid stamped steel fenders.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

  • Patent pending U-Beam structural design is significantly stronger than typical l-Beam design.
  • Pair of log cradles - Adjust to one of two positions, with option for mountable log table.
  • Longer table length to accommodate up to 26.5" logs.
  • Oversized hydraulic components provide the shortest cycle time in its class.
  • Hydraulic oil filter is mounted inside the reservoir, eliminating damage from falling logs and operator entanglement.
  • Dual end cylinder support for equal weight distribution and wear reduction.
  • Beam handle offers easy transition from a horizontal to a vertical position.
  • Log stripper mounted to end of hydraulic cylinder to remove tough log jams.

Q&As

1 - 10 of 10 Questions

Q: Two questions: 1) Does the 40 ton splitter accommodate a 4-way axe? 2) I see some kind of gray shield around the axe? Is this some kind of safety, and how does it work? Spring-loaded to slide out of the way as the log hits it?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Dear David, hello! Thank you for your inquiry! In response to your question, the reply is as follows: Question 1: No, only 2-way axe can be available. Question 2: The gray protective cover you observed is indeed a safety device designed to protect the user from flying wood chips or debris. But it is bolted to the frame and has no spring device on it. The way it works is that if the wood is not completely split, it can block the wood so that the wedge can travel to the bottom of the wood and the wood can be completely split. If you have any other questions or need more help, please feel free to let us know!

It’s a decent splitter - Briggs enine

2 months ago
It’s ok if you don’t mind a Briggs engine. It does not start as easy as my 4 years old splitter with a Kohler engine. The rail does not have a guide like my 32 ton. Not sure if this is a good thing or not,

No, I do not recommend this product.

problematic

a year ago
Simplistic & powerful but have had a problem with fluid shooting out the filler cap since day 1. Customer service seems unwilling to deal with the situation and sidesteps my inquiry for a fix. Initial prognosis by customer service did not work and now I'm stuck with a problem on a new machine. Stopping payments soon if I don't get some help.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Very solid and well-built for a great price

2 years ago
Ordered this online for delivery to house. XPO freight delivered it but you must be home and available to answer the drivers call when they are on the way. Comes on a pallet inside a nice wooden box, it is extremely heavy and you will not be able to move the crate by yourself so make sure it is placed on a level surface and right where you are going to assemble it. The instructions are very clear and you start assembly of attaching the wheels while still on crate. To stand up and attach the beam/Cylinder you will definitely need 2-3 people unless your helper is the Rock. We had two to lift and one to maneuver the engine and hydraulic hoses as we lifted it upright. After you get it upright it is ok to finish assembly with two people. It comes pre-filled with hydraulic fluid so just need to add engine oil and gas. Put it to use right away on a extremely large red oak that fell. It powers right through very pieces of wood. If you are splitting large pieces and hit any knots you will be glad you got the 40 ton versus anything smaller, worth the extra money for peace of mind that you are not underpowered. Was looking at more expensive 40 ton machines but this is all you need for a great price point.

Yes, I recommend this product.
