After reading many posts on AS I am considering the Huskee/Speeco 22T (on sale now at TS) and have a couple of questions:
Can a vertical shaft powered log splitter like this one be easily converted to a horizontal shaft engine if the engine ever needs replacing? I'm just thinking in the long term if I decide on one of these splitters.
Also I have seen on the videos of this splitter that the wedge does not get very close to the foot (a safety thing I'm sure) which causes some issues with complete splits. Any ideas to remedy this? Since I am splitting mostly LARGE pine & oak rounds and have a messed up back I will be running mostly in the vertical position, so placing something on the foot will only make me lift the wood which I want to stay away from if at all possible.
Thanks in advance!
