New 32 Ton HyperSplit Log Splitter With 6 Second Cycle Time

I have been looking for a new log splitter for awhile. Over the past 15 years I have had homemade splitters, an Allwood Oak Series 24 ton, Troy Bilt 27 ton and now a 32 Ton HyperSplit. The fast cycle time is a pleasure to split with. I really didn't care for the 4 way or 6 way wedges on the Allwood. It was slow and sheared so much waste. Many pieces had to be re-split. I find with this HyperSplit I can move through rounds quick with less mess to clean up at the end of the day. I made a short demo video if anyone is interested, link below.

 

I didn't see a filter on it for the hydraulic fluid. Is there one?

 

I have the 22ton hypersplit and it does not

 

If using the standard accepted second (1/60th of a minute), no way that's a 6 second cycle time splitter.

 

I was puzzled by the six-second claim, too. I realize he's splitting and they're typically rated by unloaded cycle speed, but even the return stroke which has no load takes almost six seconds alone. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

 

I timed it after I made my comment, and it's around 7.5 - 8 seconds out and back splitting a piece that didn't slow it down. Admittingly, faster than it looked when I first watched it, but definitely not 6 seconds.

 

I thought it would be dangerous fast with such a big pump but it looks like a normal speed machine. I do like the big H on the bottom and the full beam design.
