FAQ about this model
How much force does the LZ-705 put out, and what size logs can it handle?
It delivers 40 tons of splitting force, enough for large-diameter hardwood rounds most homeowner splitters can't handle. The 28 GPM two-stage hydraulic pump and 1/2 inch heavy-duty steel beam keep the cycle fast and rigid under full load, with a 9 second cycle time from start to return.
What engine does it use, and how much power does it have?
It's powered by a Kohler CH640 20.5HP Command Pro V-Twin engine producing 35.7 ft-lbs of torque. This is a commercial-grade gas engine, not an electric or PTO unit, so it runs independently without needing a tractor or generator hookup.
Can I split logs standing up, or only lying flat?
Both. The LZ-705 operates in horizontal and vertical positions, so you can split logs lying on the beam or stand up larger, heavier rounds you can't lift onto the tray. This flexibility matters if you're processing mixed log sizes on a job site or firewood lot.
Is this splitter towable, and what's it riding on?
It comes fitted with ST205/75D15 tires, which are trailer-rated tires sized for towing behind a truck. Beyond the tire spec, we don't have axle or hitch weight ratings, so confirm those details with your towing vehicle's capacity before hitting the road.
What warranty coverage comes with the LZ-705?
The Kohler engine carries a 3-year commercial warranty, and the Yardbeast LZ-705 unit itself is backed by a 2-year limited product warranty. That's separate coverage for the engine versus the splitter frame, hydraulics, and other components.
How fast does it cycle through a log?
The full cycle time is 9 seconds, driven by the 28 GPM two-stage hydraulic pump. That's the time from pushing the log through to the ram returning, which matters if you're processing a large volume of wood and want to keep throughput high.
