TS BBQ,
To answer your questions about pricing on the TW2 & TW2HD - here is what the dealer told me:
TW2 - $3600 + 425 4 way wedge + 300 table grate +425 log lift = $4750
TW2HD - $4600 +425 4 way wedge + 600 table grate + 900 hyd log lift +hyd wedge lift 750 = $7275 Auto cycle is avail for another 600.
That's alot of shekals...depending how much you split or how much ya wanna spend - it's a great splitter.
The TWHD is nice bc the hitch is reverse mounted so you can split w it still hooked up, but imo - if you're gonna spend that kind of money, get a TW5. You get a bump to 25 tons, an 11hp motor, 22gpm pump, 5" cylinder and standard 4 way wedge w an option for the 6 way and std auto cycle and wedge lift for only 800 bucks more than the TW2HD.
Take a look at Iron and Oak, American and Split Right - they make some great splitters too and might be less expensive in some cases.
decisions, decisions....
Good luck - let us know what you decide!
