I bought a 15 ton speeco, have used it less then 8hrs. The valve and return hose blew apart (valve internally) and sprayed everything within an 8 foot radius with hot hydraulic oil. The carb float screwed up and filled the crankcase with gas, the motor blew. They cover it under warranty, ok great. But they screwed up and sent me (2) wrong valves at the same time because they don't communicate in the warranty claims department. When I called them to get it straightened out and have the correct valve shipped to me, and return the 2 wrong ones. They got very hostile on the phone and accused me of trying to "pull one over on the company, and get free parts" when it was their mistake and I called to correct it. Finally today I receive the correct valve, cool. When I unpacked it and took the shipping caps off rust came pouring out of the valve. The whole inside is rusted like no other. Called them back and they called me a liar and wouldn't agree to reship a good valve unless I send them a picture. Sent them the picture of the horrible rust and now it won't be ordered until monday. So basically I have a $900 bright red turd in my garage, and got accused of trying to cheat the company to boot.
So how good are Iron and Oak splitters? Any other suggestions for a splitter that won't run me $4k or more, yet is a decent unit?
