Product Description
No Sales Tax! (Most States)
This Brave VH1730GC 30 ton log splitter that has the convenient option to split Vertical and Horizontal. The orange powder coated wood splitters were designed with durability in mind.
The VH1730GC comes standard with the Honda GC190 engine. The log splitter has an average 14 second cycle time, which is a great combination for both speed and power.
Log Cradles (Included) - HV units catch falling wood saving you from bending over and picking up split wood off the ground and splitting again. Just imagine the amount of extra times you could save from bending over picking up firewood to split again from each cord of wood?
Options:
Drainzit Oil Hose Kit - Drainzit oil hoses make changing oil easier and cleaner! Drainzit oil drain hoses allow you to change the oil in your small, gas-powered engine without tipping, dismounting, or modifying your engine in any way.

Customer Reviews
Arrived on time October 2020. My retirement gift to myself. I am 65 now. Still love using it.
My first and last wood splitter.

Good addition to the tool set, as I aged, had to give up the maul. Love the machine.
Great log splitter, one of the pins broke but was easily replaceable.
Thanks Janalee, we appreciate your business!

I am 57 years old and have split wood by hand my entire life. This product has certainly made my life easier. I wish I had purchased it sooner. It actually makes splitting firewood fun. I now have enough wood split for the next two years. I love it. Assembly was pretty simple but I recommend having some help. It is just easier with two people. It powers through everything I have thrown at it. If I had a complaint it would be nice if it had a quieter muffler as it is fairly loud.
This is a great product that I am very happy with. I added a wheeled trailer jack to make moving it easier.
Hi Mark,
We definitely agree, splitting with a log splitter is much easier rather than by hand ;-). Brave makes a solid log splitter and it will not disappoint. We also recommend two people for assembly, it makes it much easier! Thanks for your business.

Splitter works great. Using to split mostly eucalyptus. Had been drying in rounds for a while. The splitter has a quick cycle time and is very efficient. Goes right thru without hesitation. Honda motor is pretty quite considering it’s right next to you all day. Glad I made this purchase. Wood Splitters Direct are great, they answered all my questions and gave me updates on my order. It did take a while to get but well worth the wait. The shipping company was horrible delayed my order multiple times. There excuse was I lived to far and there to busy. I live a little over an hour from the shippers location.
Splitter works fine and very happy with it. Two review comments:
The engine is vulnerable to heavy log impact when used horizontal. I know I could have purchased an engine guard but I think this should be a standard fixture and not an extra.
Location of hydraulic oil filter is somewhat exposed to impact damage
Was missing a couple fittings for the hoses
solid machine! definitely a good buy!
I love my Brave 30 Ton splitter.
I have used it every day since I got it.
It splits everything! Knotted elm stumps. Hickory, white oak, red oak, osage orange (tough stuff).
My wood pile has grown.
5 foot high 60 feet long 18-20 inch cuts. Made In USA! Great customer service. Prompt shipping.
Very satisfied customer!
