Our Champion 27 Ton has split about 20 plus cord of Fir and Alder and some Cedar. It has been a solid much needed addition on the five plus acres we use it for. We have done all our splitting Vertically , eliminating lifting the huge rounds that we have. I have towed it only two times on main roads , probably 15-20 miles , keeping 40mph and under , with no problem. Besides that, I'll tow it with the rider mower around the property. We were fortunate with the purchase in 2020 , list price was $1195.00 , subtract a $200 coupon and add to that Military Discount. Ended up just above $900.00. Some Hydraulic fluid was also purchased in there. Very reliable splitter. Thanks for your video .
I've got the same splitter, and I'm happy with it. I don't sell firewood but use it myself in the woodstove in my living room. Most of it is split by hand with axes, but the stuff that is too, as you put it, gnarly, is set aside to be split on the wood splitter. I split some big oak on it, and it's never failed to do the job. However, they are noisy. That's why I prefer axes. When I start it, I pull on the rope slowly until I feel the piston at compression, let the rope recoil completely, and the give 'er a big yank! This process makes starting it so much easier. That's a carryover from kick starting my old Harley, which is a story in itself! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the pull rope tip My stihl backpack blower has to be done like that. you take the rope in and out a couple times to make sure it’s wound tight before pulling slowly. Never thought about applying that to anything else
THANX ROCK HILL, THIS HELPS BUNCHES... **ITY THING IS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IN STOCK... HARD TO BELIEVE EVERYBODY AN HIS BROTHER NEEDS A SPLITTER THIS YEAR... STAY COOL, PEACE FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
Thanks for making a great review video. I will be going to buy one later today from Home Depot, they are currently $1299. This will be my first splitter, I've borrowed splitters from other people for the past few years so it's time to get my own.
Great review! Thank you for putting in the time. I split at least 10 cord/yr with my mauls and axes, it’s tough work. This definitely helped me with my decision. One thing I saw and that I will do (all splitters I am considering have the holding tables on the sides) is to bolt on a wooden platform to the table (just using my scrap wood) to extend the table. Thanks again.
I know this is an older comment, but sometimes I miss responding to them Thank you for watching the video and putting your thoughts on it. 10 quart is a lot by hand. Best of luck to you.
I have this splitter. Have used it for 3 years, maybe processed 50 face cords. I've had no problems. It has split some cherry and oak rounds that were 2.5 feet in diameter.
im buying the same 27 ton unit tomorrow and the price is 1499. at the depot. crazy. definitely a good machine. cant find any real negative reviews on it. i got a lot of large 24+ in red oak and maple iv been sitting on. time for a real machine.
I have one of the Champions. It works like Brock says. I'm happy with how well it splits wood and how easy it is to move around. My issue is as mentioned the gas issue. I don't think it is necessarily the machine. If I let it sit for a couple months, the gas gels up enough to stop it from starting. I try to make sure I turn off the gas and run it out when done. I haven't tried to figure out the problem, if it is the gas I'm using or if I need additives, less additives or whatever. I would probably buy it again. I like how it runs. I also have to remember which way "choke" and "not choke" are.
South Mississippi here. Bought mine in a crate unassembled from Home Depot for $1300. I’ve read stories where the already assembled units often had issues due to being assembled wrong. It was a piece of cake to assemble and I did it by myself one piece at the time out of the back of my truck. Probably not the smartest thing to do especially when you get to the beam with the cylinder.
Brock, I used a 27 ton Troybilt with Honda engine for 18 years. I split about 6 cords a year and found very few pieces that were unsplittable. This year I upgraded to a SplitFire 3265. Kind of pricey, but extremely efficient and fun to use. The best upgrade is the hydraulic log lift. My back ain’t getting any younger!
Thanks for sharing. Those split fires look like really nice units and it seems like 90% of what I have is heavy enough I can barely pick the rounds up. I end up splitting vertically a lot
I always use stabilizer in my ags cans. No issue with starting in generator or splitter. It sits outside with a cover on it. I have the same splitter now for over 3 years and never any issues. I have split up to 2 1/2 diameter almost 2 feel long vertical.
I'm spying it as well. Going to pull a few logs out of our woods that the forester never got to and split a few cords this summer. I don't want to research splitters for a month, seems like this one will do the trick.
@@relaxedguy Prices got so high on these splitters thru covid, that I ended up going with a $200 electric splitter. Working pretty good so far..... but I dream of Brock's new vertical splitter by Powersplit.... but I don't have 10k. LOL
Always keep a fuel stabilizer in the fuel year round,will keep it starting & running good for you. I keep it in every thing I have ,that has an engine on it. And I don't remember the last time I had a starting issue with any of them.
Nice video reviewing your splitter. I think that is a fine splitter for most of us doing moderate amounts of firewood. One guy suggested on my channel to put a board or chunk of wood in front of the splitter when in the vertical position. It works great to keep the round tilted into the splitter.
This is my experience with same unit: I was able to split oak at 27 inch diameter….very powerful unit. Almost started at first pull almost every time since new in 2019. I paid $899 at Home Depot on sale for mine…the best part. The bad: I just encountered no RAM and I was calling customer service multiple times and the wait time was about 90 minutes plus the conversation until someone familiar with my unit will give me their advice and I was ok with that…strangely. The Control Valve was their diagnostic over the phone and I ordered the part from them….it came in different style or different mounting style. So I have to go on same process 4 times,each time around 90 minutes waiting time like I mentioned before. They sent me another part or the correct part,but this time was a used part,easy to tell. So my unit sits in garage with extra money spent for the used part and their policy to my understanding even from other bloggers that once the part is used,they won’t refund their customer anymore….nice game they played with me. I will mention few other things: Their parts are not marked with anything,even technical information,so you almost have to relay only on their parts if possible. I will modify mine with other similar log splitters since their parts are readily available and plenty videos to repair properly this wood splitter at home. Even a basic oil filter from them is not market with the correct size,but it has a big yellow CHAMPION logo printed for commercial purposes. Clearly they don’t want to buy parts from other sources like a car manufacturer for example does.
I really enjoy your content and your varied subject matters. I would offer one idea that you may want to consider while splitting fire wood. My dad taught me that bending over and lifting heavy blocks and then having to bend or kneel to work was a bad idea. He loaded the splitter and the logs onto a large flat bed trailer and worked the splitter in a vertical orientation. He even cut the logs into the desired firewood lengths on the trailer. That allowed the cut lengths to be rolled rather than lifted onto the base of the splitter. Just something you may want to consider.
I have seen some Canada models with HONDA engines on them. I have the 27 ton splitter as you do. I brought mine from Home Depot for around $1,100.00. I do not have a fuel sight glass in my tank. I too would like to have a Bigger table on mine. I have the same concerns as you do about the oil and gas tank not being covered better. I have a dent on my tank from a pc of wood that hit it. I have been looking around from other splitter company's to buy one of there side tables. They have a Great CS in Calif. if you need them. I also wish they had a 4 way wedge that you could put on !
I looked at these, but couldn't bring my self to buy one. There were to many things bolted together that I would have liked to have seen welded. Also I was very unsure about the motor. The price was $1800, for the Champion, I ended up finding a Brave with a Honda GX on sale for $2200. Im glad it's working well for you, though.
I would like to ask an unrelated question...Why do so many people in you tube videos wear dark glasses? In the States do you have a UV problem? Thanks for all the work you do for our watching and learning.
My eyes have always been light sensitive, but it’s much worse after I had Lasik surgery two years ago Everybody tells me I shouldn’t wear glasses on video because it makes you seem like you’re hiding something but I can’t keep my eyes open otherwise
thanks for sharing the video, have you ever tried to split a log that that the splitter couldn't split? where I live we have a lot of eucalyptus trees, there almost impossible to split once the wood cures because the grain is wavy
How many gallons of gas do you burn (approximately) to split a full one cord of wood to standard size for a larger wood stove that handles 16-20" logs? Just asking for your best guess to guage how much fuel it may burn per cord. Thank you.
I have this splitter as well. I wouldn’t try making a living from it. But you could easily rent it out to neighbors for $50-75 a week while they split a few cords a year. It takes a good 4-6 hours to split a cord working solo. I’m looking to upgrade in 2 years. Log lifts & Honda motors with electric start. I’ll pay the coin. Keep small equipment indoors if you can.
That small yellow rack on the operator side of the splitter is mounted incorrectly, which can result in the wood being trapped between it and the wedge, which can result in the wedge being crammed into the "C" channel on the other side of the beam and bending it. The assemblers are mounting the racks upside down, which gives it the up curve, but it should be flipped so the rack is level with the beam. Home Depot had to replace my splitter as a result of the "C" channel and the rack being bent.
I was looking at this but the smaller foot print and faster cycle time for the Ryobi Kinetic Log splitter is appealing since it has no maintenance involved, will easily do smaller jobs and be easier to store. Am I making a mistake for someone who does small loads of medium size rounds and no larger rounds?
I have some big rounds like your splitting. I can't get them up on the horizontal splitter. So far, they are still sitting in the woods. I can move them with the grapple on the 1025r, but as of now that's where that are going to stay. Might need to rent a stand-up splitter just for the big ones.
Yeah, it’s really slow setting them on one round at a time With the Grapple It is nice being able to stand the splitter up If they’re too hard to split Sometimes I decided it’s not worth it and chuck them in a bonfire
Build a work table and set the splitter on it and use it like a vertical splitter all the time. My main dislike about that style is having to get down low on knees to use vertical
@@RockhillfarmYT Wonder how much they would shrink up? If you put them on a bonfire. lol. And I do follow you on Facebook also. Have since you first mentioned it.
Yeah, you get in trouble talking about burning plastic… we are pretty far out in the country and can get away with a few things Thanks for following on Facebook. I appreciate it.
When I was a kid one of my relatives bought a property they had a ton of old tires piled up on it. They decided to burn some of them they got all kinds of unwanted attention
I don’t know what I said in the video but from memory it seems like it was 1100 when I bought mine and 1300 when the video came out. Everything is going crazy
@@RockhillfarmYT I know ! and thats about what you said. Half the reason we will be buying one soon is just to get away from oil. But even used splitters are all over $1k+ . Here in CT Diesel is around $5.00 a gal right now
This splinter now in 2023 is $1500 with tax it’s $1,700!! I juts got a brand new one off Facebook mark place for $1,000 cash. I needed to save any money I could.
Isn't collecting water in the fuel bowl what is supposed to happen??? Water isn't supposed to be in your fuel and if it is, the glass bowl actually catches it prior to being introduced into your carburetor. I don't believe that is a design flaw......just saying.
I haven’t had that problem myself and I probably didn’t describe it right. I watched a video from Woods tree farm where he was having trouble getting his splitter started He left his splitter uncovered all of the time and rainwater got into the fuel system. He had to take it apart and clean it out, but I think that can happen to any engine you leave out in the rain and still is not the fault of the splitter

I have a similar splitter and i made a larger removeable table for it to hold the splits that slips over the existing table Works great.
That would be handy. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the long-term review.

Yes sir. I’ve been using it for about two years. Always starts easy. Haven’t had any problems with it.
Wow. 3 years ago when I bought mine it was only $999

Appreciate the experienced reviewer. Where do you get the metal cage you’re tossing the split wood into?
Usually on Facebook marketplace. Search for IBC tote.

Generally doesn’t want to push through I just rotate the Other direction Or takeoff smaller bits at a time and it will push through.
The wood seems pretty dry and seasoned already. Is that the case? How does it handle freshly cut trees?
Great review Brock, it would be nice if its powerful to have 4-way wedge option if it's even possible. 👍👍
That would be nice. I did a Google search to see if anybody sold one for it but I wasn’t finding anything

Hi, maybe you could fabricate an extension for the log shelf.
I’m not much of a fabricator but it might be worth it

Am I making a mistake for someone who does small loads of medium size rounds and no larger rounds?
Have the same one. Agree it is a good one. We have cottonwood, pine, and fir, and this splitter cracks the knottiest rounds.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it
Any problems with hoses leaking fluid.I read several reviews with that problem?
No
I just bought one today for $750. The guy only used it for 1 year. Still looks like new.
Well done review 👍
Thanks
I have no complaints with mine works well I did ruin the engine but that was on me

It is nice being able to stand the splitter up
If they’re too hard to split Sometimes I decided it’s not worth it and chuck them in a bonfire
@Rockhill farm thinking about that too. I tried a wedge. Forget that. I ll die before I get one done.
@@RockhillfarmYT or rip them down with the chainsaw makes alot of noodles but always worked for me 30+ years
I bought mine for like $800 over 10 years ago never had a problem . I store mine in side and alway turn the gas off when I’m done .
Build a work table and set the splitter on it and use it like a vertical splitter all the time. My main dislike about that style is having to get down low on knees to use vertical
Where did you get that basket for the wood? What are they called? Never see them for sale around here.
IBC totes. I can usually find them on Facebook marketplace
Curious as to what you do with the plastic tank out of the IBC totes?
I haven’t really found a use for them. I have a few sitting around that I’m probably going to end up cutting up and throwing in the trash trash
@@RockhillfarmYT Wonder how much they would shrink up? If you put them on a bonfire. lol. And I do follow you on Facebook also. Have since you first mentioned it.
Yeah, you get in trouble talking about burning plastic… we are pretty far out in the country and can get away with a few things
Thanks for following on Facebook. I appreciate it.
@@RockhillfarmYT I didn`t think about the burning of plastic being illegal. I guess I will get busy cutting mine into small pieces.
When I was a kid one of my relatives bought a property they had a ton of old tires piled up on it. They decided to burn some of them they got all kinds of unwanted attention
Where can you find a replacement gas tank for these champion log splitters? Are there any cheap generic options that work?
I was impressed with your show. Sorry I am not that fast with up and down position. Yours truly Evans w Robinson ret sgt
Thank you
I'm looking at the same splitter how long does it take to split a cord?
What is the name of that crate? And how do i buy one?
Did you buy this four-way splitter from Harbor Freight?
Bracket on the operator side is on wrong.
Nice review i just bought one
Thanks for watching
Hey Brock, still happy with the splitter?
Yeah, it’s been great
Nice!!
Great!
Who makes the engine
Purging the air ? How.
I just bought the 34 ton, and have no problems with it. It cuts really easily.
I have a 34 ton champion. The one thing I am not happy with is that it has no throttle control. Start it and it runs wide open.
Does the 27 ton has throttle control?
Does your splitter have a honda motor
No
I believe that champion makes a 27ton splitter with a honda opinion
Has anyone found a 4 way splitting wedge for this log splitter?
The company offers a four-way wedge. Most people don’t get it because the straight wedge gives you more flexibility in the size that you split.
@@RockhillfarmYT thanks
Good stuff...
Thanks
Higher cost due to higher oil. More people turning to wood
Dont leave it outside
try $1500 right now. I heard it was 900 back in 2018,,, absolutley insane
I don’t know what I said in the video but from memory it seems like it was 1100 when I bought mine and 1300 when the video came out.
Everything is going crazy

Isn't collecting water in the fuel bowl what is supposed to happen??? Water isn't supposed to be in your fuel and if it is, the glass bowl actually catches it prior to being introduced into your carburetor. I don't believe that is a design flaw......just saying.
I haven’t had that problem myself and I probably didn’t describe it right. I watched a video from Woods tree farm where he was having trouble getting his splitter started
He left his splitter uncovered all of the time and rainwater got into the fuel system. He had to take it apart and clean it out, but I think that can happen to any engine you leave out in the rain and still is not the fault of the splitter
There is no "Glass Bowl" on log splitters.
And now its closer to $1500.00 dollars.
Crazy how prices are climbing
@@RockhillfarmYT Hope I might find a good used one for 7-800 or less 🙂. But Yes everything is getting so much higher in cost!
Waisted time

I’m still using this one. It is a good splitter
