Domestic-use electric log-splitters don’t come much more powerful or robustly built than this top-of-the-line example from MowDirect-exclusive brand Feider!

Supplying that power is a very high-output 3000w motor that boasts the ‘grunt’ of a beefy 4hp petrol engine; and which will require no maintenance during its operational life.

The motor combines with a high-spec hydraulic system to produce an incredible 8-tons of splitting-pressure - that’s enough force to split the sort of hard, green timbers that would defeat a lesser machine.

Despite its heavy-duty build, the Feider FBE-8T100 Feider FBE-8T100 8-Ton Electric Log-Splitter is, thanks to Feider’s provision of two 200mm transport-wheels, easy to shift to and from the storage-area.

A high-capacity unit, this vertical-type model will accept logs up to 40cm in diameter; and up to 106cm in length.
