THE MAN OF STIHL
While being bored at work I came across a 2010 TW-6 on Ebay and I realized that it has over 3500 hrs on it. That seems like a LOT of hours for a 3-4 year old machine. Also he wants to get at least $7500 for the package, not including shipping. Seeing how a new one similar to his setup costs about $10k at a dealer I called in Dallas, that makes me think a couple things:
1) If it sells then those machines REALLY hold their value.
2) It obviously holds up well judging by the pic for a 3500 hour machine.
3) if it really does 2-3 cords an hour, and saying that 25% of the hours are idling/not splitting, that thing has processed over 8000 cords of wood!!
Anyway...just some thoughts..and BTW...there is no way I'm paying 75% of retail and driving all the way to GA for a gas engine machine with 3500 hrs on the ticker...
