Husky Log Splitter Review
Huskee log splitters can be bought from Tractor Supply. I have never used one myself so I can’t give a personal recommendation. I found this video, I don’t know the guy but he gives a demonstration of his Huskee splitter in use. If you have any experience with a Huskee wood splitter please post your comments below.
If I could afford something better than a little c.$1000 22T splitter, I don’t suppose I would continue with my cave-man method, but I’m only cutting and splitting for my own use and not for profit.
Have the 35 TON Huskee Piece of crap. The return hose has blown off three times. The hose is deteriorating from the hydrolick fluid. Why would you use hoses that are incompatible with the fluid they are supposed to carry? Not only that but the auto return gets stuck and nearly stalls the engine if you don’t trip the lever yourself. Spend your money on another brand splitter.
When I considered replacing the B&S 650 engine for my 22 ton Huskee splitter, I contacted brandnewengines.com, hoping to find a Honda 190cc for it. I was informed that Briggs and Stratton does not recognize the 650 engine as theirs! The labels are clearly B&S so I’m wondering if this engine is a China knockoff with a B&D label. Anyone have an answer to this?
I bought the 22 ton log splitter from TSC, 3 years ago. Vibration problems from day 1. The engine has vibrated itself to death. Mounting brackets have broke and this year the carb fell right off the motor. Husky customer service has not returned email inquiries and the unit is a month out of warranty. When I first contacted TSC about this, the unit was still under warranty. Because I didnt get it there right away, the warranty window has closed and TSC will no longer help. for $1,099.00, is it too much to expect a product to work for more then 40 hours?!? Thanks TSC, you got my money, I hope this post saves someone else from giving you theirs.
We bought one from tractor supply in sept. Waited until it was cold and used it on our first load of wood. It broke and tractor supple won’t even replace it. We payed 1000 dollars for it and because it was over 30 days we get nothing. I wouldn’t buy this piece of crap for nothing. They don’t mention it only has a 30 day warranty unless you buy another warranty from tractor supply. I have learned my lesson. Any company like tractor supply that won’t stand behind there product. DONT BUY IT!! ASK!!!
bought a huskee 22 ton logsplitter today from tractor supply,drove 50 mi,les to get it. it ran for 5 min and wouldnt run again. took it back and got a different one, used it on about 20 pieces of wood and heard something snap , took it back , the manager said thats not covered, they do that all the time, there was some argueing and we came home without one, this was all in one day, today, he said we used bad gas and all kinds of stuff, what are you doing with it? splitting logs dumb ass. he shouldnt be a manager, the tall guy, because hes wrong, and lost a good coustomer, hel find out it wasnt anything we did but he would never admit it . no more huskees
I bought a huskee 22ton log splitter in 07. The only thing that has happened with it is the pop rivets holding recoil vibrated and were loose. Drilled them out and replaced with knew ones. I do not run the engine wide open about 3/4. Use it throught out the year with no problems. It had been good. I burn 5 cords wood a year

It is sad they don’t make anything like they used to. I got a new 22 ton splitter and after just a couple of hours use blew out the control valve. Just a 25 cent O-ring I know, its the hastle. I Biggest complaint is this just won’t start in cold (40 -degree)weather, even with 5W30. The neighbors is probably 20 years old still going strong.
Have had very good luck with the runability. BUT the wheel bearing design is faulty. The seals seal against a painted axle that is not machined for the seal. Had Tractor Supply compensate for this but the seals only hold out/up for 50 -100 miles before the water washes out the blue waterproof gease and destryos the bearings and races
I am shocked to hear the negative comments. I have had mine about seven years and have never had a problem. It looks the same as the new ones at TS except for a more rounded design of the new engine.
Bought a 35 ton huskee a few years ago- Has plenty of power , Has a 12 hp briggs.The recoil is very cheap plastic and replaced it 3 times in 2 years.the plastic pawls break easily. It would break your arm and pop back and bust the recoil, I got an old craftsman 17 hp 1 cylinder with a blown up engine ,took the windings and flywheel off and replaced the pull start recoil with a electric start converion. put a battery to it and a key switch and starts up every time. The sad it couldn’t be done so they can sell you a new engine.I would bring it in to get fixed and it would take them 2 weeks to fix it under warranty. I could have ordered a new one and put it on myself and had it fixed in 2 days. lost a lot of time splitting season.the warranty dealer was 40 miles away. Sucked.
I have wheel seal problem also . trip home 7 mi. seal came out of hub tapped it back in while in the woods back out in 1/2 mi. so headed to the shop with mic and slide rule to see what to heck is going on,yes it’s warrantied but they’ll probably slide the seal back on and send it home. PS this is a brand new one day old machine . will not start in 20 degree weather either that was the 3rd day flustered yes !
sPLITTER WORKS GREAT when it’s going . maybe I can buy a car caddy to get it to and from the woods lol ! oh and a block heater.
Just bought a 22 ton from TSC and it will not start. 2 weeks old and no go. Come on guys and ideas?
Vernon, did you put gas in it?
Yes I did . I am not senile. However I have also pulled over 200 times to get it going. Nothing.
I guess tomorrow I will have to call for help nobody there today.
Got one for 2011 xmas present it ran one time. Spent more energy pulling to start it than if I would have just split wood by hand, took it back they gave me a new one that vibrated so bad pulling it with my Lincoln navigator I could feel my steering wheel shaking, got home loaded it on a trailer took it back and got my brothers money back. I expected better from huskee and TSC what a piece of crap!
