What does a 5 tonne log splitter actually do?

A log splitter with 5 tonnes of splitting force is mainly intended for light private use. These machines generally handle small logs of soft wood (such as spruce or poplar) that are dry and straight. But as soon as you are dealing with hard wood such as oak or beech, large or thick trunks, and damp or knotty wood, a machine with 5 tonnes of splitting force quickly reaches its limits. In practice that means more jams, more time spent, or even having to split by hand after all. Precisely what you wanted to avoid.
