Hi Anne, It sounds like you’ve had a busy time with those sycamore trees! Cutting them to 30-35cm length is smart – perfect for handling. Since they’re still green and you’re aiming to split them this winter, I’d suggest our FM10 7-Ton model as the ideal choice for your needs. It’s perfectly suited for handling wood of this size, whether green or dried out (but preferably green). There are three models available, FM10D-7, FM10T-7 and FM10TW-7.

The FM10D model is designed for ground use, while the FM10-T features a T Stand, equipped with two rear wheels and a flat plate front leg. On the other hand, the FM10-TW comes with a castor stand, boasting two wheels at the back and two sets of lockable castor wheels at the front for enhanced mobility and stability.

Hi, Beechwood is generally quite hard, especially when seasoned. You would be looking towards the higher tonnage of log splitter, upwards of 7-ton. If the logs are seasoned, I would recommend the 8-ton fast-fire kinetic log splitter. The fast fire is available in both electric and petrol editions.

If the wood is varied, i.e. seasoned (dried) and green (fresh) then I would recommend the heavy-duty FM16 electric hydraulic log splitter.
