    Viewing Super splitter or DR Rapidfire splitter

    My thoughts exactly! So far haven't been disappointed with SuperSplit, but I really haven't given it a fair trial yet...I need to cut some wood and really put it to the test!

    You will NOT be disappointed with a SuperSplit!

    Not any more, but they did at one time from what I am told.

    The SuperSplit does not have grooves in the driven pulley. For what it's worth, I can tell you from experience that there is no comparison between the quality of a SpeedPro and a SuperSplit! This is one of those cases where you get what you pay for.

    In all due respect...not impressed!

    They took my word for it. It would be hard to deny given the amount of lope that the machine had...it was bouncing up and down over an inch! The "other" brand of splitter that I purchased after returning the SpeedPro is steady as a rock at any speed...exactly the way it should be if everything...

    Because there is a lack of quality control, and SpeeCo won't admit to it...plain and simple! In other words, sloppy workmanship!

    Tspot100, SpeeCo sent the replacement flywheels / parts to the local TSC where I purchased the splitter, and I swapped them the out-of-balance flywheels when I picked up the new ones. I don't know if they offer that to everyone...I got the feeling that they would prefer an authorized service...

    See post #232 and associated follow-up posts. It all boils down to poor quality control. Good luck!

    Let me clarify...the "other" brand I am referring to is NOT a DR. I know nothing about the DR, as I have never owned or used one. P.W.

    Viewing Super splitter or DR Rapidfire splitter

    I am a relatively new Super Split owner who crossed over from the "other" side. I haven't split a lot of wood with my new Super Split, but I can tell you without a doubt that the Super Split is far above the "other" brand as far as quality and customer service is concerned! Spend the extra...

    See post #743...same thing happened to me. I think the blue Loc-Tite is the way to go.

    New SpeedPro Kinetic Log Splitter from TSC...

    See post #232...deja vu. Hey, that rhymes! I also found a left handed lock washer on the right hand threaded flywheel retainer bolt (non-driven side...the driven side has a left hand threaded retainer bolt that is supposed to have a left handed lock washer, and it did.) I sharpened the wedge...

    Keep in mind that the extended warranty is exactly that...it merely extends the 1 year warranty to two or three years total. So in effect, you're paying $99 (?) for one additional year or $199 (?) for two additional years. At least that's the way it was when I bought my SpeedPro back in October...

    Definately "looks" better than the original...time will tell I guess. I certainly hope this fixes things for the sake of all those involved. Thanks for sharing!

    My concern with the multi-way wedges is all the odd sized pieces you end up with. From what I have seen (videos of multi-way wedges in action), because all logs are not a perfect nor consistent diameter, there sure seems to be a lot of slivers and odd size pieces. Is that the case?

    There certainly is less to go wrong with a hydraulic splitter, but I still believe that if the kinetic splitters are built well (i.e. quality parts and good engineering) then they too should give many years of service. From what I have read, there are a number of old kinetics out there...
