Portek Charger 8.5 log splitter

Splitting log the easy way

[@gixxer6k813]

Thanks for the thorough review Robert. Not many vids of kinetic splitters show how they perform on knotty wood but yours was just what I needed to see. Will be getting a portek splitter ready for this year's wood pile 👍

Hi gixxer6k8, did you purchase one and what did you think

@@PortekMedia I purchased one off after watching this video. Great machine.

Ay up pal. Similar. Bald and Northern. That’s a brilliant review mate. Ten times better than their own sales video. I think that’s my mind made up to be honest. I’ve seen loads of reviews of log splitters, but your choice of knotted lumps of wood are my reality !!. Nice one mate.

I am so glad that you were happy with it and thanks for the review

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5bKapaJd7J7ptksi=20yN2uD3-BYUT2Sf I bought an earlier version which some bar steward stole , it was only rated at 5 tons and is seen in the video. I replaced it with the newer 7.5 ton model which is ok but not as smooth and easy as the original. I was sick of bending down to pick up logs and then again bending to pick up splits and throw or stack them. I appreciate that not many people will have a tele handler but perhaps you could build a wooden frame to make life easier by splitting into a wheel barrow

[@radishpea6615]

can the black handle be left towards the rear of the machine so you only have to move the red handle each time?

[@essexpeter6116]

Bypassing designed safety feature?

[@radishpea6615]

@@essexpeter6116 is that a yes or a no?

[@dougnewton3175]

doese it need greese oil anyware

[@patrolturbodiesel]

How reliable has the splitter been and how hard do you work it

[@cocierunicolae41]

Not professional tool. Thanks for your review.

You’re lifting technique’s or possibly even more dangerous than the action you’re performing

Tragic
