Yes, another splitter thread...
I'm shopping for my first splitter and was wondering if there were any Wallenstein users on here that have owned or used a WX520. A search turned up very little about this on here and I'm looking for some feedback on build quality, reliability, layout, etc.
I'm particularly interested in this specific model due to it's size & weight as storage space is limited and I'll be moving it around by hand for the most part. I also want the ability to use a 4-way wedge and prefer the Honda GX motor. I like that the Wallenstein is much shorter than the Timberwolf TW-P1 while hopefully(?), being of the same quality. It would be nice to load in the back of my pickup to help out friends as several of my buddies heat with wood but all hand split. I don't have a trailer for transport.
I've used several horizontal/vertical splitters and dedicated horizontal splitters and prefer the horizontal only. I definitely want something easy to move around a sloping yard so the 500-600lb Iron and Oak and Brave splitters are not as appealing for those reasons although I think they're great machines.
Thanks for any helpful thoughts.
