The Brave VH1724GC delivers 24 tons of splitting force in a tow-behind package built to commercial-grade specifications. Powered by a Honda GC160 with a 13-second cycle time and 11 GPM 2-stage pump, it operates both horizontally and vertically — handling logs up to 16 inches in diameter and 25 inches long. Tow-ready up to 45 MPH with highway-rated tires and 2-in. ball hitch. Built on an industrial I-beam frame with Sherwin-Williams powder coat finish.

Industrial I-Beam Construction
The VH1724GC is built on an industrial I-beam frame — the same structural approach used in commercial equipment. Sherwin-Williams powder coat paint protects against heavy use and weather exposure. The 8-inch high carbon steel wedge handles tough hardwood species without deforming under repeated impact at 3,500 PSI.
4-Stage Hydraulic Filtration System
Most consumer-grade splitters run a single filter. The Brave VH1724GC uses a 4-stage hydraulic filtration system — suction strainer, breather cap air filter, return line filter, and magnetic drain plug — to remove metal particles and contaminants before they reach the pump and cylinder. The nylon hydraulic hose sleeve adds protection against abrasive wear, pinhole leak spray, and UV degradation. Industrial cylinder with halite seals maintains constant pressure throughout the split cycle.
Horizontal & Vertical Operation
A convenient lift handle allows fast, safe transitions between horizontal and vertical positions. Split large rounds vertically directly on the ground — no lifting required for heavy logs. Log cradles catch split pieces and double as a work table for large rounds. The heavy-duty log dislodger ejects logs that stick to the wedge, protecting the control valve and hydraulic components from damage.
Tow-Ready Up to 45 MPH
Highway-rated tires, 2-in. ball hitch, and safety chains make the VH1724GC fully road-legal up to 45 MPH. Move between job sites or store it at home — the unit tows like a standard trailer with no special setup required.
