PTO log splitters

By the Furrowgear team · Last checked 21 October 2026

Log splitter safety: Only one person should operate a log splitter. Use the two-hand controls as designed and never remove guards.

Tractor and PTO safety: Keep PTO shafts fully guarded and never go near a turning shaft. Switch off and remove the key before you get off to adjust anything (HSE Safe Stop). HSE guidance (not an ad)

Furrowgear is an independent UK guide to choosing and running machinery on a smallholding. Every figure is a guide, not a guarantee: check the maker's manual, HSE guidance and GOV.UK. We haven't tested these machines: we compare published specs and official guidance.
