The 16 GPM 2-stage pump delivers fast cycle recovery at 14 seconds, maintaining throughput over long splitting sessions. For a firewood producer running multiple cords per day in a towable setup, this is the top of the BravePro range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHonda GX270 — Commercial-Grade Engine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honda GX270 is a 270cc commercial V-type engine with cast iron cylinder sleeve, ball bearing crankshaft, and 1.4-gallon fuel capacity for extended run time between fills. Built to the same commercial tolerances as the rest of the GX series — longer service intervals, better heat dissipation, and sustained power output under continuous load compared to consumer-grade engines of equivalent displacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e16 GPM 2-Stage Pump\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16 GPM pump is the highest-flow unit in the BravePro tow-behind lineup — significantly faster hydraulic recovery than the 11 and 13 GPM units on the 24 and 30-ton models. At full load with the 5-inch cylinder bore, it maintains consistent cycle times even on the hardest splits, where lesser pumps bog down and extend cycle time unpredictably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4-Stage Hydraulic Filtration + O-Ring Fittings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuction strainer, breather cap air filter, return line filter, and magnetic drain plug protect the hydraulic system from metal particles and microcontaminants. O-ring fittings on the control valve reduce leak points. Industrial cylinder with Halite seals maintains consistent pressure. Nylon hose sleeve protects against abrasion, pinhole spray, and UV degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHorizontal \u0026amp; Vertical Operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift handle for fast position transitions. Log cradles catch split pieces and serve as a work surface. Heavy-duty log dislodger ejects stuck logs automatically. Manual tube on the machine. Optional fenders and engine guard for added transport protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3wU2IdC4u9A?si=BaOGSiLo63tSuRc5\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFree Shipping — No Sales Tax\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips free to the continental United States.
