If you were in the market for a new log splitter, which one would you choose based on the following criteria:
- Prefer to have a Honda GX engine
- Would prefer idle down feature found on the NorthStar
- Must be able to split vertically and horizontally
- Would like at least a 30-ton unit (would prefer a 37-ton)
- Having a removable, 4-way wedge included would be a bonus
- Cost under $2K
- Parts availability is important to me
I have looked at NorthStar, YardMax, RuggedMade, CountyLine, Dirty Hand Tools. Of those, I'm leaning towards a NorthStar. Are there any others I have overlooked that I should be considering. This will be used for personal use to heat with wood.
