At 675 lbs. dry weight — 125 to 175 lbs. heavier than comparable BravePro tow-behind units — the BHVH2418GX is built with more steel, a larger hydraulic system (10 gallons vs. 8-9 gallons), and a heavy-duty 5-bolt wedge design that handles repeated impact without movement or deformation over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuto Latch Beam Lock\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe auto latch system locks the beam into the horizontal position for safe towing — no manual pin to forget, no beam shifting in transit. The enhanced handle assists with transitions between horizontal and vertical positions, reducing the physical effort required to reposition a 675-lb. machine on uneven ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHi-Lo 2-Stage Pump + Offset Valve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hi-Lo 2-stage pump delivers high flow at low pressure for fast cylinder extension, then automatically shifts to high pressure for maximum splitting force at contact. This system is more efficient than standard 2-stage designs — faster cycle times at lighter loads, full 24-ton force when needed. The offset valve positions the control out of the direct line of the operator, improving ergonomics during extended splitting sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4-Stage Hydraulic Filtration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuction strainer, return line filter, breather cap air filter, and magnetic drain plug protect the hydraulic circuit from metal particles and microcontaminants. Halite commercial cylinder seals maintain consistent pressure throughout the split cycle. Log dislodger and log cradle standard on every unit. Larger jack wheel makes positioning and moving the unit easier on uneven terrain. Tow cables included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H9rODzeAe7k?si=GPDrihb71GIFEuvt\" 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.
