Timely thread, lost my splitter (long story) In any event I've seen lot's of machines I would love to have but $$s get in the way. Hate MTD but they are cost effective. One manufacture that hasn't been tossed around is Northstar. Seems their 30 and 32 ton machines (the 32 is a little out of $$ range) are well build (judging the book by it's cover here) and made in USA (??? on that last point). Any pros and cons.

TT58 -- does that machine come with the operator?

I was just looking over the Brave web site. Are the Honda engines that much better than the B&S? Using the 26 ton model as an instance, it's $1895 for a B&S 8 hp while the Honda GX 9 hp is $400 more. If it's a better engine than why does it take an extra pony to do the same job the 8 hp B&S does?

I now own a TW-P1 with the 4 way wedge. I can not be happier with it. The machine is great. Even better the guy at the shop was a really great guy, so I am glad my money is staying local. He even had two more for the same deal when I left.

Now all I have to do is get a log lift sometime in the future, but at this point I do not need it. I will however be fabricating a table in the near future.

Thanks for the welcome as well.
