Iron and Oak Log Splitter

The woodpile is half what it needs to be before the first hard freeze, and you've got a cord of knotty elm sitting in the field that isn't going to move itself. That's the job the iron and oak log splitter was built for. Iron and Oak has been making commercial-grade splitters in Rogers, Minnesota since 1982, with Honda GX-series engines on every tow-behind model and every unit fabricated in-house.

The lineup covers two configurations: tow-behind models that run independently on a standard 2-inch hitch, and skid steer mount models for crews who want cab-operated workflow without a standalone gas unit. Root Revive Direct is an authorized Iron and Oak dealer, so every order ships with full manufacturer warranty coverage and a support team that can answer spec questions before the machine leaves the warehouse.

 

 

Why Iron and Oak Stands Apart

Commercial Build Standards on Every Unit

  • In-house fabrication since 1982: Iron and Oak designs, fabricates, and welds its splitters at the Rogers, Minnesota facility. Forty-plus years in the same building, making the same product category, shows up in how the machines are built.

  • Honda GX engines on every tow-behind model: The GX-series is specified for its commercial-duty reliability record. Parts are widely available, service infrastructure is established, and the engines hold up across full splitting seasons without the downtime issues common on off-brand alternatives.

  • 4-Stage Hydraulic Filtration: The hydraulic system runs through four-stage filtration, protecting the pump, valve, and cylinder from contamination over extended high-cycle seasons.

Standard Features Competitors Charge Extra For

  • Auto latch ships standard: The auto latch holds the ram in the return position between cycles without the operator holding pressure. On a long splitting session, that adds up. It's standard on every tow-behind model, not an upgrade.

  • Log cradle and dislodger included: Both come standard with tow-behind models. On comparable iron and oak log splitter alternatives, these are the first two accessories most buyers end up ordering separately after their first season.

  • Heavy-Duty Wedge Construction: The splitting wedge uses five bolts per side, more robust than the two- or three-bolt mounts common on residential-class splitters.

Iron and Oak Log Splitter 24-Ton Skid Steer Mount

  • Power Source: Skid steer hydraulics only; rated for 3,500 PSI input, no onboard engine

  • Attachment: Universal quick-attach plate; welded safety step included

  • Operation: Horizontal splitting, fully cab-operated, industrial-grade I-beam construction

Three self-contained models, all Honda GX-powered, all convertible between horizontal and vertical, all towing on a standard 2-inch hitch. The 24-ton GX160 covers most landowners and mid-volume firewood work. The 30-ton torsion axle is the right step-up for regular transport and dense hardwood volume. Browse the tow-behind log splitters collection to compare all three.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes Iron and Oak log splitters and where are they manufactured?

Iron and Oak has operated since 1982 out of Rogers, Minnesota. Splitters are designed, fabricated, and welded in-house using American and imported components. All tow-behind models run Honda GX-series engines, chosen for their commercial-duty reliability record.

What is the difference between the Iron and Oak 24-ton and 30-ton log splitters?

The 24-ton uses a Honda GX160 with an 11 GPM pump and a 13-second cycle, priced at $3,579. The 30-ton steps up to a Honda GX270 with a 16 GPM pump and a 12-second cycle at $4,539. Both units tow on a 2-inch hitch and convert between horizontal and vertical splitting.

What is the difference between a tow-behind and a skid steer mount iron and oak log splitter?
