Well I changed gears and picked up a TimberWolf TW-1 today. It may be their smallest uni but all I can say is: AWESOME. This is the most impressive thing I've ever owned (up there with my 361). Really, really well designed and built unit.
Simply put - MORE STEEL.
For example, take a look at the log guard (er whatever you call it) on each machine. On the MTD (Troy Bilt), it's stamped sheet metal. Heavy gauge sheet metal, but still, stamped sheet metal.
The Speeco unit is far heavier - looks to me like it's 5/16 plate.
Also, the log cradle on the MTD is just junk. The built in cradle on the Speeco is SOLID. You would have to work at it pretty hard to bend it.
As to the power needed, try a crotch from a hundred fifty year old oak that's been standing dead for a few years, and see if your 27 ton will go through it. It STOPPED my 34 ton Speeco.
Those who say they've never seen wood that would stop their splitter, just aren't splitting tough wood.
Dont recall any toe plates bending over on the TroyBilt models....

There's one down at my local hardware store, for rent. It's going to be that way for a loooong, long time, too, because there ISN'T any customer service with MTD.
