Do you have a question about the Posch SplitMaster 30 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Posch SplitMaster 30 is a log splitter designed for splitting logs with a maximum length of 50-125 cm. It is exclusively for splitting logs with a diameter of 10-80 cm and a length of 50-125 cm. The machine is operated via a two-hand safety controller.
The SplitMaster 30 is a robust log splitter available in various drive types: PTO, PTO/Electric motor, and Diesel engine. It features an "Autospeed" function that enables pressure-controlled switching between two feed speeds, automatically adjusting the splitting speed. This gentle switchover ensures minimum hydraulic wear. The splitting blade's hydraulic height can be adjusted to the optimum position for the timber diameter. The machine also includes a lifting device to lift logs into the splitting trough. The cylinder stroke can be adjusted for shorter logs, and a shut-off rod allows for setting the splitting distance. The splitting process can be configured to split logs into two, six, or eight billets using different splitting blade variants.
The SplitMaster 30 comes in several models with different drive types and power outputs:
All models share common splitting system specifications:
Dimensions for all models:
The hydraulic system has a total filling capacity of 65 litres. Recommended hydraulic oils include OMV HLP M46 hydraulic oil, SHELL Donax TA, TOTAL BIOHYDRAN SE 46* / AZOLLA ZS 46, ESSO Unirex N46, CASTROL Hyspin AWH-M 46, ARAL Vitam VF46, GENOL Hydraulic oil 520, and FUCHS Plantohyd 32S* / Renolin B46 HVI.

The SplitMaster 30 is designed for safe and efficient operation. It requires a minimum age of 18 years for operators, who must be familiar with the machine's operation and hazards. The machine should always be operated by one person. Proper personal protective equipment, including safety shoes, protective gloves, and safety goggles/ear defenders, must be worn.
The "Autospeed" function provides two feed speeds, with automatic pressure-controlled switching, which is beneficial for faster operation and reduced hydraulic wear. The splitting blade's height can be hydraulically adjusted to match the log diameter, ensuring optimal splitting. A lifting device simplifies the loading of logs into the splitting trough. The splitting distance can be set using a shut-off rod, allowing for precise control over the log length.
For PTO-driven models, the PTO shaft speed should be set to 480 rpm for standard operation or 650 rpm for S (higher speed) models. For diesel engine models (Type D), the engine information includes the Hatz 2L41C engine, which uses diesel fuel with a consumption of approximately 3-3.5 l/h and has a tank capacity of 30 litres.
The machine can be equipped with various splitting blade variants, including 2-section, 6-section, 8-section, and "Easy" splitting knives, to split logs into different numbers of billets.
For transport, the maximum transport speed is 6 km/h (10 km/h for some models). When uncoupled from the tractor, the machine must be placed on a firm, level surface. Tyre pressure should be checked (max 3.5 bar).
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the SplitMaster 30.
Troubleshooting information is provided for common issues such as electric motor failure, switch not working, pusher not extending, hydraulic oil getting too hot, machine losing power, machine noise, diesel engine not starting, and diesel engine stalls. It also covers issues like hydraulic cylinder leaking and control lever not staying in return position. Disposal of recyclable materials should be done according to national applicable regulations.
