I am just a cut and split wood guy for myself to have for the winter to save on electric bill and the joy of cutting wood and having a nice fire to sit by in the winter. But im wanting to buy a hydraulic splitter just for resedential use to maybe split 2 or 3 cords a yr 4 at most. Im wanting a vertical/horizontal splitter for I have back problems and some of the rounds I get I have no way of hoisting them up on the splitter if it was a horizontal setup. But what I am looking for are suggestions on a good splitter for the do it yourselfer type operation. I dont cut and split wood to make money just for my own use and to stay at least a yr ahead on my wood supply so it wouldnt get used 24/7. I dont want to spend more than 1500 dollars tops on a brand new one and would like to find a good used one thats in good shape but needs fixing like new hoses or motor work for I am mechanically inclined and love to tinker, or a used one with low hours and no fixing needed works too but just want to get a good one and one that suits my minimal needs for splitting. thanks for all suggetions..
