Dan, it's not how MUCH you are splitting, it's how BIG and WHAT KIND.
If you had asked me a week ago about the Huskee, I'd have given you a very enthusiastic YES!
I have the 35 ton, and I split big wood. That's what I have available - mostly big oak log ends and crotches. Tough stuff. Until yesterday, my Huskee split it all. Last two Saturdays I've been splitting up an old,
standing dead oak. Big fella. 64" at the stump.
That thing stopped my Huskee yesterday, and not only stopped it, but
bent the toe plate.
I don't think any other machine on the market in this price range would have fared any better, given the toughness of that old, dry oak, but still, I'm not happy with Huskee at the moment.
If you search on Huskee or Speeco and my username, you'll find me making a lot of very positive comments about it. I'm not ready to start making any negative comments, but I'm am in neutral right now. I'll wait to see how TSC/Speeco addresses this problem before I say anything more - positive or negative - about the machine.
