Older Can Be Better

Review Posted 01/09/2022
Purchased a 2010 NorthStar 30 ton splitter from a friend summer, already have split over 4 full cords of wood, including massive 3 foot wide oak chunks. The machine never skipped a beat. The vertical option sure saved on the back muscles to say the least. We can split for 4 or 5 hours on one tank of gas, perhaps due to the fact the engine idles down when it goes back to start position. Tows easily and starts within one or two pulls, the Honda engine is a workhorse! I looked at many units on "seller" sights and many wanted way too much money for "junk" home built units or flimsy factory made products. Wish I would have had the unit 10 years ago.

I purchased my 37 ton splitter in 07. I have split birch, oak, ash, black walnut, popular, elm, maple. the splitter took them all on with no trouble, glad I spent the money and got a good one right a way.
I can split a least 4 hours without running out of gas, the splitter that is. Just love this splitter.
