Last March I bought a dual splitter from DR Power Equipment. After about 2 chord of wood being split, the seals blew and the rod bent....Since DR has no repair depot in the area and the return trip to New Hampshire is about 6 hours I decided to return it for a refund. ( Nothing but good things to say about DRs' customer service and the way they treated my account. If I was closer to a repair depot I would have kept or replaced their dual splitter )
So after making a few other purchases in the last couple of months ( riding mower and trailer ) money is getting tight and a super split or splitfire is no longer in my budget. I'm down to 2 machines to choose from......Huskee 22 ton......Ariens 27 ton.
A lot of good reviews on Tractor Supplys web sight ( not so much on independent sites. complaints about the B&S engine not starting.....hoses blowing......lousy service from TSC...etc.
Ariens 27 ton has a Subaru engine and the reviews seem pretty good.
Now my question: honest reviews for the 22 ton Huskee would be appreciated. 22 tons is plenty for the wood on my property. Have the owners of the Huskee been satisfied with its performance. Would rather have owners responses from people who have purchased within the last 2 years.
