Command the Woodpile: RuggedSplit 700-Series SplitterSKU: V-00021
Take a look at the RS-700 series log splitter in action! We built the RS-700 Series for folks who need high-performance, exceptional power, and un-compromised durability in a log splitter. From high-grade materials to robust power platforms, there's a lot to like about these heavy-duty log splitters. Because operating comfort is always top-of-mind, the RS-700 Series offers the ability to align the valve to a 45-degree angle to the beam, making it easier to manipulate the valve controls.
Best of all, the RS-700 lineup offers a variety of configurations. Choose from 28-ton or 37-ton ram force, 24" or 30" cylinder stroke, and a Raven, Briggs & Stratton, or Honda commercial-grade engine (the one you see in the video is the RS-737 with a 24" cylinder stroke and a Briggs Engine). All machines come with a 22 GPM 2-stage pump. An innovative restrictor device lets you adjust the stroke length.
The RS-700 series comes with a four-way blade that slides on easily for bigger logs. -
