Morbark, LLC NorthStar 37-ton horizontal/vertical log splitter This NorthStar 37-ton horizontal/vertical log splitter's multi-patented design gives users premium components and exclusive features that save time and increase performance. The backbone of this log splitter is an industrial-strength I-beam with heavy plate steel reinforcement. The patented wedge design, made with alloy steel, maintains consistent split and has a unique curve that reduces initial contact area for maximum penetrating force. This unit includes a Honda commercial GX270 engine with a cast-iron cylinder sleeve, low-oil shutdown and steel fuel tank; a cast-iron Concentric hydraulic pump and Brand valve; NorthStar hydraulic cylinder with premium Halite seals; and a patented log stripper that clears logs from the retracting wedge. Heavy-duty log tables keep split logs from rolling off.
