I put a mini excavator hydraulic log splitter to the test to answer one simple question: is it actually worth the money — or just another expensive attachment? In this video, I run real logs through a conical screw log splitter mounted on a 1-ton mini excavator, showing how it performs in real-world conditions — not a showroom demo. What’s covered in this test: Real log splitting performance (seasoned vs fresh) Speed, torque, and ease of use Who this attachment actually makes sense for If you own (or are considering) a mini excavator and are looking at attachments like log splitters, augers, or grapples, this test will help you decide if this one is worth the investment or a waste of cash. 👇 Drop a comment and let me know: Would you run this attachment — or stick with a traditional splitter?
