Boss Industrial Log Splitters: Electric, Gas and 3-Point Choices
Boss Industrial has the widest power-source spread in the current Log Splitter Match catalog. The useful brand decision is not simply which Boss model has the most tons—it is whether electric, gas or tractor hydraulics fit the work, then which cycle, orientation and support profile fits inside that branch.
Boss Industrial has the broadest power-source mix in the current catalog
Our normalized catalog contains 13 current Boss Industrial exact models: four corded-electric hydraulic machines, five gas-hydraulic machines and four tractor-hydraulic 3-point records.
The expanded tractor branch needs special evidence handling: 3PT22TE is internally consistent enough to remain Matcher-eligible, while 3PT16T21, 3PT22T25 and 3PT35T25 are held from automated scoring because their current manufacturer pages conflict on critical force and/or hydraulic fields.
Current Boss electric models
The electric records span 5, 7, 10 and 16 tons. All are horizontal-only. Published full cycles range from 13 to 16 seconds, with model-specific electrical guidance retained where Boss publishes it.
| Exact model | Force | Cycle | Max log | Position | Weight | Road tow | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boss Industrial EC5T20 | 5 ton | 14 sec | 20.5 in | Horizontal | 107 lb | Not published / not verified | Manufacturer source |
| Boss Industrial ES7T20 | 7 ton | 15 sec | 20.5 in | Horizontal | 128 lb | Not published / not verified | Manufacturer source |

| Boss Industrial ED16T21 | 16 ton | 13 sec | 20.5 in | Horizontal | 304 lb | Not published / not verified | Manufacturer source |
Current Boss gas models
The gas branch remains five current models spanning 16–37 tons. The 16- and 20-ton machines are horizontal-only; the 27-, 32- and 37-ton WD records support horizontal/vertical operation.

Current Boss 3-point models: one eligible, three held for evidence conflicts
| Exact model | Stored force | 3-point category | Published flow range | Pressure range | Max log | Matcher use | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boss Industrial 3PT16T21 | 16 ton | Category 1/2 | 5–10 GPM | 2000–3700 psi | 20.5 in | Held from Matcher scoring — current source conflict | Manufacturer source |
| Boss Industrial 3PT22T25 | 22 ton | Category 1/2 | 8–12 GPM | 2000–4000 psi | 25 in | Held from Matcher scoring — current source conflict | Manufacturer source |
| Boss Industrial 3PT22TE | 22 ton | Category 1/2 | 8–12 GPM | 2000–3700 psi | 25 in | Matcher-eligible with tractor compatibility tradeoff | Manufacturer source |
| Boss Industrial 3PT35T25 | 35 ton | Category 1/2 | 13–18 GPM | 2000–4000 psi | 25 in | Held from Matcher scoring — current source conflict | Manufacturer source |
3PT22TE is the one current Boss 3-point record whose headline/specification force is internally consistent enough for Matcher use. Even then, the Matcher treats actual tractor hydraulics as an unverified critical condition and will not label it a Strong Match without a tractor-specific compatibility check.
3PT16T21 conflicts on 16 versus 13 tons and on hydraulic-flow guidance. 3PT22T25 is marketed as 27 tons while its specification table says 22 tons. 3PT35T25 is marketed as 37 tons while its specification table says 35 tons. Those three remain available for evidence review/Compare but are deliberately held out of automated scoring.
Why Boss stands out as a service/support decision
The normalized Boss brand record includes dedicated support, log-splitter parts and contact resources, and direct ecommerce is currently available. That does not make Boss automatically better, but parts/manual visibility is a concrete ownership factor when comparing otherwise-similar machines.

37-ton class context
Boss WD37T is now one of five current Matcher-eligible exact 37-ton records in the refreshed catalog. Use the 37 Ton Log Splitter page to compare its 14-second cycle and 16 GPM pump with Champion, FIRMAN and SuperHandy alternatives without treating missing fields as poor performance.
How to choose within Boss
Fast compact gas
GD16T21 publishes a 9-second full cycle, making speed a notable part of its current spec profile.
Heavy-round handling
WD27T, WD32T and WD37T add horizontal/vertical operation, which changes loading more than another small tonnage increase would.
Tractor integration
3PT16T21 is a different ownership architecture entirely; tractor flow, pressure and connections become part of the splitter system.
Frequently asked questions
Does Boss Industrial make both electric and gas log splitters?
Yes. The refreshed normalized catalog contains four Boss electric models and five Boss gas models, plus four tractor-hydraulic 3-point records.
Which current Boss gas models work vertically?
The current WD27T, WD32T and WD37T records support horizontal/vertical operation. GD16T21 and GD20T24 are horizontal-only in the normalized catalog.
Why is the Boss 3PT16T21 not used in Matcher scoring?
Its current exact manufacturer page conflicts on critical force and hydraulic-flow fields. The refreshed catalog also holds 3PT22T25 and 3PT35T25 because their current pages market different tonnage than their specification tables. Boss 3PT22TE remains eligible but is always treated as a tractor-compatibility tradeoff until exact GPM/PSI and connection requirements are checked.
Does Boss have replacement-parts support?
The current normalized brand record includes a dedicated Boss log-splitter-parts collection and support resources. Exact part compatibility should still be checked by model.
