Description
Process cords of dense hardwood timber and knotty trunk sections with high-output hydraulic muscle. The Boss Industrial 27-Ton Horizontal/Vertical Gas log splitter produces 54000 lbs of splitting force driven by a 208 cc Kohler engine. This dual-position commercial splitter tackles green logs. The machine requires wheel chocks to maintain frame stability during vertical splitting work.
Heavy structural steel forms the central I-beam rail, maintaining rigidity under severe wedge-splitting pressure. A 208 cc Kohler commercial engine mates to a two-stage hydraulic pump that auto-shifts to high-pressure mode when encountering knotty grain. The 4.5-inch hydraulic cylinder powers an 8-inch hardened alloy steel wedge through logs up to 25 inches long. A heavy spring-loaded pull pin allows one-man switching between horizontal and vertical splitting positions.
Key Features of Boss WD27T
Commercial firewood producers and grounds maintenance crews use this 27-ton splitter for high-volume timber processing. The Kohler engine provides dependable cold-weather starting power.
- 27-ton hydraulic splitting capacity handles dense maple, hickory, and knotted ash logs
- 208 cc Kohler SH265 commercial gas engine provides continuous power under hydraulic load
- Two-stage hydraulic gear pump delivers fast 14-second complete stroke cycle times
- Horizontal and vertical splitting conversion eliminates lifting large tree sections
- 8-inch heat-treated alloy steel wedge splits through cross-grain wood without dulling
- Heavy-duty log trays catch split firewood to reduce ground bending fatigue
- Towable chassis includes 2-inch ball coupler and pneumatic road tires for jobsite transport
Engine Bench Dynamometer Splitting Telemetry
Hydraulic pressure sensors record 3700 PSI when splitting dense 24-inch green oak rounds. Two-stage pump shift points occur at 900 PSI to deliver maximum splitting force through knots. Engine fuel consumption averages 0.48 GPH under active splitting operations. Acoustic sound levels measure 86 dBA at the operator control station. Hydraulic oil thermal rise measures 28 degrees Fahrenheit after three hours of non-stop wood processing.
Firewood Operation Protocols Safety Boundaries
Chock both pneumatic tires securely on flat dirt or gravel before pulling the engine recoil starter. Rotate the steel beam to vertical mode and lock the detent pin before rolling heavy trunk rounds into position. Do not operate this machine with bystanders inside the 15-foot wood-throw perimeter.
- Kohler engine crankcase requires SAE 10W-30 engine oil changes every 50 run hours
- Hydraulic return filter demands element changes after the initial 25 hours of operation
- Beam slide surfaces require heavy multi-purpose lithium grease applications every woodlot session
Boss Industrial 27-Ton Warranty Manifest
Boss Industrial backs this log splitter with a 2-Year residential and 1-Year commercial warranty on hydraulics and frame. The package includes the 27-ton splitter assembly, Kohler engine, log catchers, and owner manual.
