Iron and oak splitter choice

[Bruiserx2]

I am looking at two used I/0 splitters. One is 22 ton with 5.5 hp Honda gx the other is 26 ton with a 9 hp subaru robin. They are both priced at $1400.00 and have cycle time of 12 seconds. The 26 ton is slightly newer.

Any thoughts? Neither have the cradle and both are h/v.

I have to drive over two hours each way so I am looking for any last minute advice.
What to look for?
Which would be suggested? Etc
