Do you have solar panels, Scarlet?

I know the spec states not to use extension leads over 10m but I used mine over 30m no problem. This one has a thermal cut out switch for £20.

No, VC. Trouble with old houses, nothing ever works! Everything as added on and the wiring is a shambles.

The way I see it Scarlet is you have 3 choices:

a) A Petrol Log Splitter.
b) An electric splitter plus extension lead.
c) As Nicos, an electric log splitter with generator.

Just wondered as in the house with solar panels the trip switch seems to be extra sensitive.

As you were..................

I've gone for B I've just pressed the buy it button - ive got the same one as you, the 7ton duo cut. Just need to get an extension cable...

He won't regret it............One major tip!.........Do not stand at the end of the splitter when in use as it sometimes fires the logs like a rocket & could cause serious injury.

Better keep Stan indoors while working it then.

[Bigmallly]

Good idea, it is of no risk to the operative as he stands at the side and needs both hands to operate it.

OH used it on the weekend. It didn't trip the electric. Absolutely brilliant bit of kit.

Is it better than a new bike?

I think there is really 4 choices - and I use option d.

I have a PTO log splitter that I connect to the back of the tractor. Granted that does mean purchasing a tractor as well - but that could only be a good thing.

That's great news Scarlet, I'm always a bit apprehensive about recommending products.
