I love it . It works as good as they claim. The 4 way wedge is a super design. Its very powerful. I`m a satisfied buyer

remember you posting $1,900 for your 37ton.

how did you manage that? it would have been $2,300 delivered to OK for me.

It was $100 off when I got it. Novemberish, I think. I do not remember where it was shipped from but I`m in Pennsylvania ....could be I`m closer to the point of origin. The shipping I paid was a little more than $230. With the 4 way wedge at $69 lets see

$1799
- 100
------
$1699 splitter
+ 69 4 way
+ 240 shipping
------
$2004 total

I guess it was a more than I remembered. I pitched the receipt right away and told the wife I`m just holding it for a friend.

Sorry for any confusion

ok.. thanks

that explains it. I didn't get the $100 off deal and shipping was $380 to me. almost choked on shipping charges. didn't figure in extra $69 four way.

I got TSC to match no tax day at Atwoods. drove 45 miles to TSC and picked up 35ton huskee for $1,489 net.

main drawback is lack of fourway. I can install a four way but need to cut off log guard. if I do any mods, will void warranty. sure be nice to double speed!

I agree a 4 way would be great. The other thing I noticed on my little 22 ton is the wedge hight is a bit short. I mean when doing rounds on the ground I have to turn the wood more than a couple of times.

If you find or figure out a way to install a 4 way on the Huskee, let me know if you would. I am not worried about the warranty, I figure it will last me the rest of my life.

Thanks for the feedback and the pic.

Hey glenng

Just wondering when the cylinder is fully extended is there a gap between the wege and the backing plate. it says 24" cylinder and handles wood 25" long. I split a lot of trashy hickory and need it to cut it into so I don't have to pick out all those hung together peices

there's several ways to add four way splitting. all void warranty

need to grind off log stripper to allow enough room for four way.

two wings can be machined, then welded on. wings need to be 9in min. you can buy a bolt on four way. additional thickness will reduced stroke by aprox. 3 inches
