Hycrack Log Splitters – Hycrack Splitter Review
Hycrack log splitters are screw type splitters made in Britain designed to be powered by a tractor PTO. A screw splitter is a large screw cone that spins. You shove a piece of wood into the cone and it screws itself into the wood and wedges it apart. Hycrack splitters are similar to unicorn splitters but since they are mounted to a secure work table they claim they are less dangerous. I still wouldn’t want to get a sleeve or any body part or clothing caught up in one.
The manufacturer claims these splitters are faster than many other log splitters since they don’t have a ram to wait for. I have never used one of these type of splitters but I am interested in hearing about anyone’s experience with them. Watch the video below of one in action and judge for yourself.

Can the HyCrack be purchased in the USA?
I have had a hycrack log splitter now for 8 years/ no maintenence on it appart from 1 grease nipple /and the effortless work that this machine can do in a few hours used to take me 4 days manually. Also brilliant for making kindling

Can I buy the Hycrack in the USA? And what is the price in USA dollar figures? Thank you
i live in usa in new york where can i buy 1 ????
This is by no means the fastest splitter. It doesn’t even come close. Check out various splitters on You Tube.
This appears to be a functional splitter. If you already have the tractor and don’t split many cords it makes sense. It’s not going to equal the production of a Timberwolf or equilvalent machine with a four way wedge though.

Can the HC1X be purchased in the USA?
I have an old massy frerg so this is ideal. It’s quite steep of a price for all that it is.
Where can you buy this second hand?
It would sell very well second, £400 is a good price for this in my opinion..
