Start with the 5–16 ton electric branch when a corded horizontal workflow fits the rounds and you want to avoid a gasoline engine.

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 10 current Boss Industrial exact models: four corded-electric hydraulic machines, five gas-hydraulic machines and one tractor-hydraulic 3-point model.
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, and the current 10- and 16-ton records publish 15-amp motors; the normalized data also preserve model-specific circuit guidance where Boss publishes it.

| Boss Industrial ES7T20 | 7 ton | 15 sec | 20.5 in | Horizontal | 128 lb | Not published | Manufacturer source |

Current Boss gas models
The gas branch spans 16–37 tons. The 16- and 20-ton models are horizontal-only, while the 27-, 32- and 37-ton WD models are horizontal/vertical. Current full-cycle claims range from 9 seconds on GD16T21 to 15 seconds on WD27T.

Boss 3-point model: useful evidence, unresolved critical fields

| Boss Industrial 3PT16T21 | 16 ton | Not published / not verified | 20.5 in | Horizontal / Vertical | 198 lb | Not published | Manufacturer source |
The current 3PT16T21 manufacturer page conflicts on two fields that matter to tractor compatibility: a 16-ton title/spec-table value versus a 13-ton body statement, and a 4 GPM body minimum versus a 5–10 GPM specification-table recommendation. The model remains visible for comparison, but it is deliberately excluded from automated Matcher scoring until those fields are settled.
Use the 3-Point Hydraulic Calculator only with the exact GPM/PSI and cylinder values you determine are authoritative from current documentation.
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 one of two current exact 37-ton records in the catalog. Use the 37 Ton Log Splitter page to compare its published 14-second cycle/pump evidence with the current SuperHandy alternative.
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 current normalized catalog contains four Boss electric models and five Boss gas models, plus one tractor-hydraulic 3-point model.
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?
The current manufacturer page conflicts on advertised force and minimum/recommended hydraulic flow. Those are critical fields for automated tractor/splitter matching.
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.
