Is the Honda motor worth $200 more than the Kohler in the 22 ton unit from Oregon?

Why don't you look at a Kawasaki engine before I would look at either of the two you're currently considering.Is the Honda motor worth $200 more than the Kohler in the 22 ton unit from Oregon?

I've had at least 8 B&S engines over the years and only 1 that failed.I had a tecumsa that lasted over 20 years on a push behind mower.One chonda,seems OK but not the best starter,on a 20 ton splitter and one honda on a pressure washer,seems OK so far.Given my choice I'll choose B&S every time. Kolher used to be top of the line,but I don't know about them anymore.No. I'd pay for the "standard engine" and keep the difference in my back pocket for a harbor freight predator equivalent (if that day ever comes)
Of course some dopes on this forum claim my 18 year old B&S splash lube engine on my huskee splitter could never last, yet it still keeps going, year after year,splitting cord after cord.
Curious about the price range for splitters with a 3-5 second cycle? I looked at SS kinetic splitters but too much $$$ for me right now. You can shorten the cycle time on a hydraulic unit, but you also lose the length? Correct?What are you guys splitting to stall 30 tons?
My processor is like 12 or 15 tons. With a 6 way knife it's RARE I can't split it. Like maybe 5-6 blocks a year out of several hundred cords.
I'd trade tonnage for speed for most splitters. Something in the 3-5 second cycle time area.

I'm looking to spend $1500-1600 for a new splitter. A 30 ton is within that range, and I know I could get away with less tonnage but I never find myself saying I wish my power tools had less power lol.
