Love it, Simple elegant design..safe and efficient…I think you have a winner on your hands.
thanks ! if we ever get back into it will give you a call all the best r.
Glad you like it! – no dealers outside of the UK sorry.
They were around 20 years ago! and you can still buy them!
wish it was about twenty odd years ago when we was in the log business ! brill .
I love this idea! So simple it is stupid, no hydraulic valves, hoses, reservoirs, filters…! Do you have any Canadian dealers yet?
Please contact us via our HyCrack website to discuss this further.

How much would you want for 10 shipped to US? Do you accept paypal?
- sorry no dealers yet in the US but we’re working on it. Anyone want 10 shipped to distribute themselves?
Very GOOD SAFE utilization of what has always been an intriguing but hazardous idea. Your bed width versus screw height solves the spin block problem. And your bed depth/screw length/ height keep the operator away from the part that bites! I speak as the owner of a 20 Ton vertical/horizontal hydraulic owner/user. Do you have an USA dealer?

PPE taken seriously – “We don’t need another hero”!
i like the full cage safety mask. very mad max.
Interesting concept. Impressive.
Hello honeybees1 – Everybody’s entitled to their opinion even if yours is the wrong one! We don’t have the Sears splitters in the UK but there are plenty of vertical ones. We like the screw type PTO splitter because it’s simple and copes with all wood including tough and knotty hardwood. Many vertical types struggle here and are slower as you have the return stroke to deal with. The HyCrack rates at 40tonnes, check the price of a decent 40t vertical.
The Reason we ask for approval is that we are demonstrating a serious tractor mounted log-splitter here. A number of the comments we reject are idiotic, badly spelt you say spelled and in some cases profane. We dont want those comments thanks. As to a questionable product; if you bought a HyCrack screw splitter you would see when it was delivered that the serial number would be over 4700. So there are nearly 5000 customers out there now, happy users with a big pile of logs and warm houses.
When I see comment pending aprovall that tells me your product is most likely questionable at best.
A Sears vetical splitter is MUCH better no lifting and a cleaner splitt.
Green wood or soft wood is usually no problem what type shall we video?

Show us a demo using fresh cut wood.
Thanks for that. Looks like a great piece of kit.
The splitters are CE approved and they are supplied with an emergency stop cord for the engine stop that attaches to the guard rail.
HyCrack
Is there an emergency stop for the operator?
that is a great idea, you just might have saved me a ton of money, thanks mate.
nice! Probably the safest and most efficient splitter I’ve seen so far. Great Video
