How to Choose Log Splitter Accessories

What is a 4-way cross wedge?

A 4-way cross wedge is a splitting attachment that divides a log into four pieces in a single stroke instead of two, cutting cycle time on high-volume splitting jobs. Boss Industrial sizes each cross wedge for specific splitter tonnage and beam width, so matching model to machine matters before you order.

Which log splitter stand height fits my machine?

Stand height should match your splitter's beam and your preferred working posture, with taller stands reducing bending on horizontal splitters. Boss Industrial's FT-3, FT-5, and FT-7 stands are sized for specific splitter models, so check your model number before ordering to confirm a fit.

Do I need an engine guard or a cover?

An engine guard protects the motor and controls from flying wood chips and debris during operation, while a cover protects the entire unit from weather and dust during storage or transport. Operators running a splitter regularly outdoors typically use both accessories together.

What size trailer jack do I need?

Trailer jack sizing depends on your splitter's tongue weight and ground clearance needs. Boss Industrial offers TJ-11, TJ-16, and TJ-20 wheeled jacks built for different load ranges, so check your splitter's tongue weight rating before selecting a jack to avoid overloading it.
