It arrived right on time, no damage and it was easy to assemble. All the parts were there, had a little trouble finding the o-ring, the instructions were excellent.
We split four cords of fir and maple the first day. Some of the fir rounds were 28" in dia. No problem going from horizontal to vertical, balanced very well. It always starts on one or two pulls.
The quality is far better than any other in its class and price range by far.
Pros:Reliable, Easy To Use, Exceeded Expectations, High Quality
Starts on the first pull and goes through oak like a knife through butter. I have only split 2 cords so far. Time will tell but so far it's a gem.
Pros:Easy To Use, Fast, Reliable, I'd Buy It Again

This Splitter Is A Beast
I have 25 TONS of cut green sweet gum on my property and this machine tears through the largest logs like nothing. I have not split a piece of wood yet that came close to stalling this beast.
Pros:Price, Exceeded Expectations, Fast, I'd Buy It Again

Champion 25 Ton
Product ordered and shipped from Log Splitters Direct it arrived 4 days after order was placed. Item arrived packed in strapped cardboard on a plywood base. This is a very heavy item. I was glad I paid the $50 lift gate service fee. Assembly was straightforward and not intimidating. Had a problem installing one of the wheels.
I could not get it to slide all the way on the axle. The instructions specified to place wheels on axle with valve stems pointing to the outside. I put the first wheel down and moved to the second it went on easily. After some time comparing the wheels, I discovered the factory bearing assembly in the first wheel had been done in reverse. I put the problem wheel on with the valve stem facing inside. It went right on as expected. I am frustrated that it's not perfect but it's functional.
Remainder of assembly was smooth. Total assembly time from box to operation took 4 hours. Engine started easily. First start took 5 pulls. Engine runs smooth at high throttle. It's dialed in and required no adjustments. It is quieter than expected. This is a stout piece of equipment. I am impressed with the quality of the unit as a whole. I would recommend the 25 ton splitter. The price is reasonable.

"Great site product information. Product is exactly as described. Online ordering was easy. I received an email order cancellation. So, I contacted customer service and provided my order number. Together, we determined the issue. There was a problem with my credit card not matching my contact phone number my fault (home vs. mobile#). I was assisted with placing a new order over the phone. Customer service was friendly and helpful. Their ordering security prevented a potentially fraudulent order. Great Job!
The shipping company called a few days in advance to set up a delivery appointment. The driver called 30 minutes prior to arrival. Everyone with the delivery service was polite and professional.
The lift gate service is well worth $50. The shippers put it in my garage exactly where I wanted it. This thing is very heavy. For one person, there is no way to move it when it is crated, unless you have a pallet jack. Or, you'll need to open and move it piece by piece to your assembly location. Good luck. The beam is a monster. I highly recommend Log Splitters Direct. Thanks from a new and future customer."
This has been a very nice log splitter. The overall experience is good but i should warn of some things you may run into.
Not so good stuff
1. Instructions are not the greatest for beginners. If you are mechanically inclined then this is easy but for someone who is not, there is some guess work you have to do. Determining which bolts go where is that hardest part.
2. If you are splitting while laying on its side beware of the wood falling off the splitter. I would say about 80% of the time it falls right on to the rear reflector damaging it. This happened to me about day 2 and wood that falls off still hits the same area.
Good Stuff
1. This thing can eat through any wood. There has not been any wood or knots...etc that i have not got through.
2. Easy to tow
3. Nice and heavy but not too heave to move around.
4. Starts up easy
5. When i got the splitter most of it was assembled already. Even more than instructions mentioned.
6. Seems to not use much gas. I can split several ranks before it runs out of gas.
