It's not released yet. Hopefully coming this summer! Stay tuned, seems to be a fair bit of interest.

Hi Ian - I bought the 22 ton model last year. It is a very strong machine and has already split quite a few trailer loads of gum, bloodwood and ironbark. Some of theses were quite large in diameter as we cut up fallen trees and it did not budge at any of them. Stuff the axe bounces off were not a problem. The axe has now become obsolete!! I am a very happy customer and would recommend one.

Hello all,
Well I finally pulled the trigger on the 28 Ton DHT Log splitter.. I have to say that so far that I am very impressed with this unit. As you all know I have been doing research on various splitters under $2000 for some time now and I decided to go with DHT. The thing that troubled me about deciding what splitter to purchase was the lack of reviews on certain units so I decided to give a review on the DHT splitter on Youtube. I tried to give my take on this thing from start to finish. Please check out my review if you are interested in buying this unit, maybe some of your questions will be answered or maybe not. At least you get to see this thing in operation. If anyone has any questions ,I would be glad to try and answer them if I can. There are many parts to this video. If you just want to see it run then watch this one.
Thx,
Jed

Looks good to me!
You a strong boy, ha! I'd have to be rolling them things and splitting smaller to chunk them around like that.
Hey, on that hillside..just thinkin..if it was in horizontal mode, just a ramp to the splitter, load up the ramp, split away.

Hi all,
I've been sitting on the side lines for a long time reading the posts that I have interest in since I joined ArboristSite and that I don't really have anything to contribute. And finally I have something that is maybe worth sharing. I recently purchased a 27 ton dirty hands log splitter and thought I would put in some positive feedback for this DHT product. Only have about 4 hrs on it now splitting the smallest of rounds up to about 20" rounds all soft wood as hard wood is just not available in this part of the country and from a home owner's side I am quite pleased with this splitter. I think as long as I take care of it I will get many years of service out of it at 5+ cords of wood a year there for getting my moneys worth from this purchase. Years ago I have done some logging and worked for a couple of commercial fire wood cutters but mostly just cut wood for the home stubborn to split wood by hand forever. With that said I have had quite a few hrs hands on with commercial grade equipment and home owner equipment that I base this post on for what it is worth. Bottom line I am happy with this 27 ton dirty hands splitter and believe it is correct for my needs. Attached are a couple of pictures of my sons helping me cut and split a little wood. Sorry I had already split up the bigger rounds I had cut up and didn't think about taking pictures at the time. Hope everyone will enjoy another home owner's attempt at cutting winter heating cost and the warmth you only get from wood stove heat.
Thanks

I'm looking to upgrade to a little larger unit, but my question is why put a 13 gal pump on a 5 gal usable oil tank capacity. Wouldn't 12 gal be a better choice for heat buildup? I like the looks of your unit. Where would I find one in Georgia?

There is only one thing better than seeing a stack of free rounds and that is seeing the $800.00 DHT splitter ready to work them up.
I can't compare it to $5,000.00 splitters, I can only compare it to every other splitter that I've ever owned.
The DHT just does what is asked of it without complaint. At about one year in with it, I couldn't ask for more. Thanks DHT.
