The Iron & Oak BHVH3018GX steps up to 30 tons of splitting force with a Honda GX270, 16 GPM Hi-Lo 2-stage pump, and 4.5 in. x 24 in. cylinder — all in a Made in the USA tow-behind package. At 705 lbs. dry weight with a 10.5-gallon hydraulic system, 12-second cycle time, and 32-inch splitting height, this is Iron & Oak's heavy-duty commercial tow-behind splitter built for operators who need sustained output on large hardwood volumes.

30 Tons — 12-Second Cycle Time
The BHVH3018GX posts a 12-second cycle time — faster than the 13-14 second cycles on the BravePro 30-ton lineup. The combination of the Honda GX270, 16 GPM Hi-Lo pump, and 4.5-inch cylinder generates 30 tons of splitting force with faster hydraulic recovery between cycles. For a commercial firewood producer running multiple cords per day, 1-2 seconds per cycle adds up to significant additional throughput over a full splitting session.
Made in the USA — Heavier Build Spec
At 705 lbs. dry weight — 175 to 180 lbs. heavier than comparable BravePro 30-ton units — the BHVH3018GX is built with more steel throughout. The 10.5-gallon hydraulic system runs cooler under sustained load compared to 8.5-9 gallon systems, reducing heat-related viscosity loss and maintaining consistent performance through long splitting sessions. Heavy-duty 5-bolt wedge design resists movement under repeated full-force impacts.
Hi-Lo 2-Stage Pump + Offset Valve
The 16 GPM Hi-Lo 2-stage pump delivers high flow for fast cylinder extension, then automatically shifts to high pressure at contact for maximum splitting force. More efficient than standard 2-stage designs — shorter cycle times at lighter loads, full 30-ton force on demand. Offset valve positions the control ergonomically out of the operator's direct line for comfortable operation during extended sessions.
Auto Latch + Commercial Features
Auto latch beam lock secures the beam in horizontal position for safe towing — no manual pin required. Enhanced handle for horizontal-to-vertical transitions. Halite commercial cylinder seals. Log dislodger and log cradle standard. Larger jack wheel for easier positioning. Tow cables included.
