The DK2 OPS240 Kinetic Log Splitter is a heavy-duty horizontal log splitter built for fast processing of large firewood and demanding property-maintenance work. It is powered by a 7 HP, 208cc Kohler Command PRO CH270 engine and uses a kinetic flywheel system capable of delivering a rapid approximately 1-second cycle time. DK2 lists this model as the OPS240 40-Ton Kinetic Log Splitter.

The splitter uses an 8-inch solid steel expansion wedge and a heat-treated, bearing-guided ram with automatic retraction. It is designed to handle logs up to approximately 22 inches in diameter and 22 inches in length, depending on wood species, grain, knots, and moisture content.

An oversized reinforced steel worktable with quad log slides helps support material during splitting, while the extended stability stand and ATV-locking wheels help keep the unit secure during operation. The OPS240 also includes a quick-release clamshell body for easier access to internal components and a safety lockout system.

For transport around private property, the splitter includes a 2-inch coupler and is designed for off-road towing. DK2 specifies a maximum towing speed of 15 mph, so it should not be represented as highway towable unless your exact unit is separately approved for that use.
