The BravePro VH1724GX delivers 24 tons of splitting force powered by a Honda GX160 — the commercial-grade GX series engine stepping up from the GC160 on the standard Brave model. Same industrial I-beam platform, same 4-stage hydraulic filtration, same tow-ready 45 MPH capability — with the added durability and serviceability of a Honda GX engine. Operates both horizontally and vertically with a 13-second cycle time.

Honda GX160 — Commercial-Grade Engine
The Honda GX series is the commercial-grade line within Honda's engine family — built to tighter tolerances, with better oil capacity, cast iron cylinder sleeve, and longer service intervals than the GC series. For operators running the splitter for extended sessions or in a commercial firewood production context, the GX160 delivers more consistent performance and a longer service life than consumer-grade equivalents.
Industrial I-Beam Construction
Built on an industrial I-beam frame with Sherwin-Williams powder coat paint for weather resistance. The 8-inch high carbon steel wedge handles dense hardwood without deforming under repeated impact at 3,500 PSI. Nylon hydraulic hose sleeve protects against abrasive wear, pinhole spray, and UV degradation. Industrial cylinder with Halite seals maintains constant pressure throughout the split cycle.
4-Stage Hydraulic Filtration System
Suction strainer, breather cap air filter, return line filter, and magnetic drain plug work together to remove metal particles and microcontaminants before they reach the pump and cylinder. On a commercial operation running multiple cords per day, this system extends hydraulic component life significantly compared to single-filter designs.
Horizontal & Vertical Operation
Lift handle for fast transitions between positions. Log cradles catch split pieces and serve as a work table. Heavy-duty log dislodger ejects stuck logs automatically, protecting the control valve and hydraulic components from damage.
