FAQ about this model
How much splitting force does the LZ-305 produce?
The Yardbeast LZ-305 delivers 25 tons of splitting force, generated by a 4.0-inch cylinder bore with a 24-inch stroke. That combination gives enough force and travel to handle large-diameter rounds in a single pass, depending on wood species and knot density.
What engine powers this splitter?
It runs on a Kohler Command Pro CH395, a 9.5HP gas engine. This drives the hydraulic pump that operates the cylinder, so no external power hookup is needed as long as you have gas on hand.
Can I split logs both vertically and horizontally?
Yes. The LZ-305 works in both horizontal and vertical operating positions, and switching between them is done with a single lock pin conversion, so no tools are required to change modes.
What is the hydraulic system capacity and filtration like?
The hydraulic tank holds 6 gallons and includes a strainer, with a 10-micron oil return filter to keep contaminants out of the system. The hydraulic valve is auto-return with adjustable relief and detent kickback pressure, which controls cycle timing and cylinder retraction.
How durable is the splitting wedge and frame?
The splitting wedge is machined hardened steel and replaceable, with outer rail flanges built in to help clear debris during operation. The main beam is a 3/8-inch thick wide flange design, which is meant to resist bending under repeated 25-ton loading.
