4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, April 1, 2008

By	Brad Blackburn (Sikeston, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Swisher LS722H 22-Ton 8.75-Torque Log Splitter (Lawn & Patio)

I've put a few hours on this machine over the winter and it gets the job done. 22 tons of splitting power has been enough for Oak and Hickory. It will hit the wood and hesitate for a half second and then it's all over for the wood. You pull the spring loaded latch on the front and the splitter flips vertically so you can muscle in large diameter logs too heavy to lift.
What sold me on this machine is some manufacturers tend to put the motor and/or pump in the way of falling logs when using the machine horizontally.
The one item that is in the way on this machine is the cheap plastic hydraulic tank filler cap. It will probably be replaced by a 3/4" pipe plug in the future. I also don't understand why they didn't put a simple dipstick on this filler cap. The drop down tongue support seems a little flimsy to me also. My biggest complaint is the Briggs and Stratton supplied engine ran fine the first time I used it. Second time and thereafter it tends to sputter at wide open throttle and the ram not in use. It is also difficult to start.

Swisher is made in Missouri and I live in Missouri so that also helped me in my purchase decision.

This review is from: Swisher LS722H 22-Ton 8.75-Torque Log Splitter (Lawn & Patio)

The LS722H approaches the ideal, in regard to price, power, fuel efficiency, decibel level, production rate and build quality for the homeowner, rancher, farmer. Our unit has proved unstopable, splitting all we threw at it, including a goodly number of former "unsplittables", remnants of seasons past.

Speed, detent valve responsiveness and wedge design all combine to produce wood piles, fast ... much faster than expected. Heavy Duty hydraulics, throughout. Weld Quality, superb. Functional design, working height and tire size, perfect. Engine is easy starting, smooth running and easy on the ears. Love this unit.
