I'm thinking on buying a 26ton Yard Machine splitter with a 6.5 Tecomsua engine. Does anyone have any input on this machine? For sale by original owner used for home use only. $700.00
Thanks, Phil

I'm in S. Ca. Lowes shows a 27 ton splitter for $1400.00. Show me where you see 1 for $999.00. Phil
If they are made by MTD, RUN just as fast as you can.

In my opinion, that is kind of a steep price considering the fact that you can pick one up from your local Lowes for $900.00.They list here for $999.99, and if you look around you can easily find a 10 percent off coupon good for any one purchase.The ones you will find at Lowes are branded Troybuilt, but they are one and the same, all built by the same company and branded different for many retailers.
If you are dead set on buying the used one, I would offer $500.A new one will have a warranty for one year, and at least if its new you will know that proper maintance has been done on the thing.A machine can look brand new sitting in a garage, but if the thing has 200 hours on it before its first oil change, serious wear will have occured severly shortening the life span of the engine.

well tractor supply has got a 22 ton for 999.00 i checked them out yesturday. and they told me if i bought one that they would throw in a 5 gallon jug of gasoline and a tune up kit. but i'll wait untill summer and see what happens if they come on down or something.and keep checking craigslist and maybe find one on there cheap.
Have a place to store it? If so, buy it and enjoy it when you need to split wood. Tecumseh made a good engine and that splitter will last for years. :msp_smile:I'm thinking on buying a 26 ton Yard Machine splitter with a 6.5 Tecomsua engine.

Don't wait too long! That should be a speeco... Damn fine machines... And I LMAO every time I see the sign at the bottom of your posts!
So, you can buy a 26-ton log splitter for less than $700? Please show me one.Id also be a little leary of the tecumseh engine as they dont exactly have the best reputation for reliability. Sure, sure anything will last if its taken care of but there are simple better built/designed motors out there...especially for that price tag.
However, he can buy a small 6.5 Hp engine for $150 or less--a Honda clone--from Harbor Freight. I'm running one of those. For 3 years, it's never failed.the general public doesn't maintain small engines most people never change oil or filters. id say save yourself some money in the long run and buy a new one
