Simple Log Splitters Sold On The Web

Simple Log Splitters Sold On The Web CORN PICKERS Corn Pickers (11D) 29-1-40 "Log Splitters Under $200. American Made. Full Lifetime Warranty. www.westcoast minisplitter.com." That small ad in the back of a magazine recently caught our attention. Upon checking the website, we learned that Patrick Green sells a $199 (plus $25 S&H) 6-ton manual mini splitter with a foot-powered hydraulic wedge. The 47-lb., 34-in. tall chopper splits logs up to 19 in. long. Green's other American-made splitters include an 8-ton heavy-duty mini splitter that can be upgraded to an air/hydraulic model and a 12-ton air/hydraulic model. "It's a hydraulic jack that is air operated. The air runs the hydraulics so you don't have to pump it. It can also be manually pumped by hand," he says. "Our product fills the gap between the splitting mall and expensive engine-powered splitters," Greens says, adding that the elderly and women like them because they can "split" wood without swinging an ax. In fact, nearly half of Green's customers are women. "Right now, we have servicemen in Iraq whose wives and families are depending on the splitter. They're splitting their firewood while their husband's off fighting for our country," he says. But if you don't have internet access, contacting Green will be difficult. His business is strictly web-based. "I'm always happy to call customers and answer questions if they email me their phone number," he told FARM SHOW.
