new price for k34 is 2500, so what would be a good price 1500-1700? or is the DR just not very good compared to a super split?Not a DR, that's about what u could buy a new k34 for with a warranty. Probably worth half that.
If it didn't look abused maybe worth half the price of a new one. The life of a kenetic splitter is much shorter than a hydraulic splitter therefore they should depreciated faster. Super split is much better imo. Why is he selling?
Not sure why the life is a lot shorter on a kinetic?
They have had issues with rack and pinion and bearings. There are a few threads on them here.
he said he sold his property so he no longer has access to wood he said there is 18 hours on it.If it didn't look abused maybe worth half the price of a new one.

There ya go...hmm. after reading some posts about it I'm having second thoughts. now I'm thinking I'd be better off spending the money on a super split. the guys who have them rave about them.
I agree completely!!! the only problem I can see with a kinetic splitter is the lack of a log lift. there has been talk that there is one in the works but who knows when.Either way its light years ahead of a hydro unit. Less moving parts, burn less fuel and 4x as productive.

That is correct...Split Seconds' (Agri-Fab) log lift will fit all SS models. Paul at SS is looking at making one to offer at SS, but haven't heard anythying as to when it'll be available.Agri-Fab makes a lift they say is compatible with a Super Split. No idea if it would fit the DR.
I think u answered your own question. Too many moving parts. You mentioned 20 years but that might only be 100 cords for the average homeowner, but that's only 1 or 2 years for a guy selling wood. 100 cords works out to be about 25 dollars per cord in depreciation, I could probably rent a good high quality splitter cheaper than 25/ cord.
