I have a 27 ton Dirt HAnds and have no complaints..probably could do with alil bit smaller but I got a deal so what the heck?

 

The ones sold at Home Depot and Lowes work pretty good, there is a cheaper (in cost)one at Menards and Northern tool, they probably all made in the same place..

 

I think they all are for the most part the same just different colors and stickers

 

I think @pinwheel is starting vacation soon

 

X2. Kind of loud and obnoxious but I guess as long as the wood gets split that is all that matters.

 

I have the 22 ton from TSC. It has split everything I have asked it to. Even very twisted notty pieces of hedge and locust...big as I can move to it pieces.

There's a stolen one out of KCMo out there somewhere. Guys (4 of them) cut our fence in front to avoid the camera zeroed in on the gate.
They tried to steal a $10,000 stump digger, but couldn't move it.
The darned thing had a bent tongue, a $150 replacement engine, and a $4 gas can kinda propped up for its gas tank. It kind sucked to use it.
I hope they get $20. Anything else would be someone more stupid then the guys who stole it.

 

Find one without a channel that the splitter slides inside. It collects debris that has to be cleaned out frequently.

My brother has one that slides on the outside. No debris the clean out.

 

 

Brave 22-ton splitter....pull behind and can be stood upright by pulling and pin and swiveled upward.Great splitter,well made and works great!

 

You will spoil your wood splitter with that thing.

 

Thanks guys. Think I should pay a couple hundred more for a Honda engine over kohler?

 

I wouldn't. It's not like a lawnmower, that may see a hundred hours a year.
Run it out of gas when you're through, and buy non-ethanol fuel, like with all small engines.
