Horizontal or Vertical – what hydaulic log splitter will work better for me?
A benefit of the vertical model is that these machines will generally accept heavier logs without physically lifting them into a hopper. A back draw is it requires all logs to be cut squarely. That is so they’ll stand straight in the chamber so the hydraulic cylinder. Costly models allow you to switch from upright to horizontal. Pay attention to the ramp as it will define the length it can accommodate.
