HF-800

When you need a cone splitter for high production jobs that can split BIG logs all day long, the HF-800 is the answer! A massive 16” diameter x 32” long cone maximizes splitting power. U.S. Pride also offers the HF-800 with a two speed motor, which allows the HF-800 cone splitter to automatically shift between speeds to power through tough wood. The two speed motor is often used on equipment with less hydraulic capacity. If you’re running a large land clearing operation or wood processing yard for mulch, firewood, or wood fuel, the HF-800 cone splitter is your best choice.

HF-300

The HF-300 is our mid-sized splitter that does everything well. It’s powerful enough to split effectively on a mulch yard and light enough to transport to tree & land clearing jobs. Splitting power is impressive as twelve foot long logs are no match for this splitter. Visit our website for more details.
