Yardbeast LZ-705 40-Ton Gas Log Splitter with Kohler Command Pro CH640 20.5HP Engine

The Yardbeast LZ-705 is a heavy-duty 40-ton log splitter built for demanding wood-processing tasks across large properties, farms, and professional job sites. Powered by a commercial-grade Kohler Command Pro CH640 20.5HP V-Twin engine, it delivers powerful, consistent performance capable of handling even dense hardwood logs with ease.

Engineered for durability, this unit features a rugged 1/2-inch thick steel beam and a fully enclosed hydraulic system that protects key components while maintaining a clean, safe working environment. Its robust construction is designed to withstand repeated heavy use, making it a dependable solution for both residential and commercial applications.

For added versatility, the LZ-705 operates in both horizontal and vertical positions, allowing you to efficiently manage large, heavy logs without excessive lifting. An auto-return control valve streamlines operation by automatically retracting the ram after each split, improving workflow and reducing operator fatigue.

With highway-ready tires, integrated lighting, and protective fenders, this splitter is built for easy transport between job sites while maintaining stability and safety during operation.
