[QUOTE="Cmccul8146, post: 3933732, member: 42070"] That 13 hp is way overkill for these type splitters. My homebuilt flywheel splitter did a great job using a 3hp, 38 yr.old engine off an old Ariens tiller I had. (see "Anybody try to build a Super Splitter " thread for pics of it with that 3 hp engine ) Since that 3 hp only had a 1 quart fuel tank, & gas would either evaporate or leak into engine between uses, I switched to the Blue Harbor Freight 6.5 Honda copy for the bigger fuel tank with a shutoff valve . It's NOT the engine torque that makes these splitters work so well, but the flywheel MASS. Good luck with this one. [/QUOTE]
