BVO,
Iron & Oak splitter comparable in what way? Have you run the TW-5?
Slipknot how are they overpriced? I suppose if I were going to split 5 to 10 cords a year I would just go down to home depot and buy their special of the month. On the other hand, if you are talking commercial application I'd stick to Timberwolf. I'm not trying to start a war but sometimes I find people here are talking "out of school" not having any experience with a particular machine. I can do a cord of wood 12-16" in 1hr ( my best time is 42min).
If you're sellin' firewood and trying to make money, its worth the price.BTW,
I've never had a breakdown. This splitter starts even in 10deg weather.
