This review is from: Troy-Bilt LS27 160cc Honda OHC/OHV Gas Powered 27-Ton Log Splitter (Lawn & Patio)
I rent a log splitter every year and then HUSTLE to get all the wood split in two days. By the end of those two days, everybody is pretty sore and beat up. I finally decided to get my own so I can split wood at my own pace. This machine is well designed and easy to use. The Honda engine is quiet and started on the very first pull! I split some large oak and while it does slow down on the hard stuff, it doesn't stop. The ram and wedge seem very durable. I don't think this splitter is designed to run for several hours on end. For that kind of use, the next size splitter is probably better. But, who wants to split wood for several hours on end anyway? This is a great deal.

27 Ton Troy Bilt just right,
By Rob F. (South Pasadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Troy-Bilt LS27 160cc Honda OHC/OHV Gas Powered 27-Ton Log Splitter (Lawn & Patio)
I researched as many log splitters as I could before deciding on the 27 ton Troy Bilt. I recommend it highly because:
The price was right - a quality US built machine with a reliable Honda engine and no tax and 10 dollar shipping. Best size for me - I thought I might have wanted the 33 ton model, but after using it for several months the smaller one is plenty strong as I am splitting 16 to 20 inch long logs in diameters up to 2 feet!. It slows down a little bit on hardwood and twisted grains, but it ends up doing the job in the end. Easy to move around - its small enough and light enough for me to move around easily and it hitches to my truck without problems. I like that it comes with tail lights. Others I compared did not have tail lights. Good design - I rented a 30 ton machine before buying the Troy Bilt and I'm happier with the Troy Bilt for both upright and horizontal splitting. US Made - I know I'll have fewer problems over time with this model as opposed to the cheaper Chinese models I considered.These Troy Bilts have been around for a while and they'll stay around! Delivered to my door - having the splitter come straight to my door was great! It was delayed a little bit because the third party shipper didn't have my phone number, but I called them and arranged next day delivery. They left it on the curb and I assembled it there on the street and towed it around to my back yard. Very easy to assemble. The manual is clear to follow. This is a great size for me who will split for myself, and two other family members. I've split enough in 15-20 hours to last me well into next burning season. I'll use the splitter regularly without the hassle of going to the rental yard and paying 100 dollars a day to use.

Decent splitter, slightly overpriced (at Amazon),

This review is from: Troy-Bilt LS27 160cc Honda OHC/OHV Gas Powered 27-Ton Log Splitter (Lawn & Patio)
I looked for a log splitter for about 4 months before deciding on this one, both new and used. I checked online, craigslist, and about 10 local stores -- recommend doing the same to find the best deal. One thing I discovered is that you need to take good care of your splitter, or you'll end up replacing the engine and/or the hydraulics. Pay attention to the service notes! Lots of splitters available on craigslist that hadn't been taken care of! For a very small investment, you can buy an hour meter and maintenance reminder from Sears -- do so, and you'll get better service from your splitter.
OK, on to the review. This is actually made by MTD for Troybilt, so it is very similar to the models sold at Home Depot and Ace Hardware. However, it has the 5.5HP Honda engine, which has a much better service record than the Briggs and Stratton. B&S also overrates their HP, so the 5.5HP Honda engine is more powerful than the 6.5HP B&S. The 27 ton hydraulic ram is much better made than the 25 ton version available for the same price at HD. The splitter comes pre-assembled where I purchased it, including the hydraulic fluid and motor oil, so all I had to do was drive the truck over with a 2" ball, hook it up, and drive off. The unit is fairly heavy duty for homeowner use, but balanced good enough so that it is easy enough to roll around by hand. Got it home, filled it up with gas, and it started right up (2nd pull). Note: Very easy pull start -- I'm right handed and can pull start it with my left hand. Wife is small and had no problems starting it either. Nice, quiet engine -- quieter than my lawn mower. The ram tilts for horizontal and vertical use: originally I thought I would mainly use it horizontally, but I used it to split some 36" diameter chunks, and there was no way I was going to lift those on to the splitter in the horizontal position, so vertical was a lifesaver in that respect. The two stage pump is nice -- it rarely kicks in, but definitely does so when you hit a big knot, etc. Nothing seems to slow down the ram -- it just keeps going, and you barely hear the engine struggle, even on the big pieces. I've split a couple of cords of wood with it, been through the first oil change, and must say that I'm very happy with the investment. Good: More than enough power for average home owner, well built, easy start, quiet, easy to move around, horizontal and vertical operation, up to 25" long logs. Replacement parts easily available from MTD. Bad: Fenders are plastic and won't stand up to much abuse. Hydraulic hoses don't have a protective metal sheathing. Ram cycle time is 19 seconds vs. 13 seconds on bigger units. Doesn't come standard with light kit (for towing). Only 1.1 qt gas tank, but then again, it runs for 2 hours on that. Oil change is a pain -- plug positioned so that it drains onto the base and gets everywhere. Change the oil outside!
