Description
Double your firewood output by splitting logs on both forward and reverse hydraulic ram strokes. The Boss Industrial 20 Ton Dual action gas log splitter delivers 40000 lbs of splitting force in both directions. This continuous-action machine features a 196 cc Kohler engine. The horizontal-only beam requires operators to lift heavy log rounds onto the working table.
Formed structural channel steel forms the dual-action bed, resisting beam twist under opposing hydraulic thrust loads. A 6.5 HP Kohler SH265 commercial engine powers a two-stage hydraulic pump that auto-shifts into high-pressure mode when splitting stubborn knots. Dual-mounted high-carbon steel wedges split timber up to 24 inches long on extension and retraction strokes. Wide-stance pneumatic road tires provide transport stability when towing across uneven woodlots.
Key Features of Boss GD20T24
Tree service crews and firewood producers use this dual-action splitter to cut processing times in half. The bi-directional cylinder splits timber without waiting for idle return cycles.
- 20-ton hydraulic splitting capacity handles dense hickory, green oak, and knotted ash
- Dual-action hydraulic cylinder splits wood on both forward and reverse ram strokes
- 196 cc 6.5 HP Kohler OHV gas engine provides continuous torque under heavy pump loads
- Two-stage hydraulic gear pump delivers fast 11-second cycle times in both directions
- Dual high-carbon steel wedges resist dulling when impacting dry, stringy tree roots
- Heavy-duty steel work table catches split logs to reduce ground bending fatigue
- DOT-approved pneumatic transport wheels permit towing behind utility vehicles across jobsites
Dual Stroke Dynamometer Load Telemetry
Hydraulic gauges verify 3600 PSI peak operating pressure during bi-directional splitting runs in green elm. Stroke duration measures 10.8 seconds per direction under full engine throttle. Fuel draw averages 0.44 GPH during steady commercial timber processing. Acoustic sound levels reach 85 dBA at operator ear level. Hydraulic fluid operating temperature stabilizes at 142 degrees Fahrenheit after four hours of continuous wood splitting.
Woodlot Operating Parameters Negative Filters
Chock both transport wheels and drop the front support leg before starting the Kohler engine. Center each log round between the push plate and wedge to stop rotational binding along the rail guide. Do not allow second operators inside the 10-foot wood discharge perimeter during cycle engagement.
- Kohler engine crankcase demands SAE 10W-30 oil changes every 50 run hours
- Hydraulic return line filter element requires replacement after every 100 hours of operation
- Dual wedge guide slides demand heavy multi-purpose lithium grease applications daily
