Braber LS25EH

The Braber BE-LS25EH pairs 25 tons of splitting force with a Honda GX200 196cc, 6.5 HP engine. A 9 GPM two-stage hydraulic pump delivers up to 3,400 PSI, with a 7-second forward cycle and a 5-second reverse cycle.

The Honda GX200 is a large part of this splitter's higher price. Many lower-priced splitters use an unbranded engine. This model uses a known Honda GX-series engine with separate Honda warranty coverage, so you know which engine you are buying and who supports it.

The full beam has an over-top log dislodger and a three-position control with automatic ram return. Capacity is up to 24-inch logs and 14-inch diameter, depending on the wood. DOT tires, tapered wheel bearings, safety chains, and a spring-release pin equip it for towing at speeds up to 45 mph.
