I have nothing but bad to say about spee co unfortunately. I have the 25 ton model. I bought my splitter 4-08. Right now its in the shop, an has been there about4 months total the time I have owned it. Who knows when I will get it back. First the cylinder was leaking, after a few weeks I owned it. Took it back, they had to order a cylinder, by the time they got the cylinder, put the cylinder on that was close to a month. Next the coil went out on the motor. A few weeks later. I called up pretty aggravated at this point they gave me the song and dance that the motor is a brigs and they have no control over it breaking, and how quickly they get parts out, since the coil didn't actually go through them for the engine. I agree, I understand, but at the same token if I go buy a brand new chainsaw and the carburetor goes out it would be like the saw company to tell me hey not our fault we didn't actually build the carb. I realize it is out of their control, but it is on their machine and therefore, it should be a concern of theirs. Now the splitter sits at the shop because where the splitting beam (ram etc) attaches to the tank, there are 2 welds and both welds are cracked. I noticed it when I was changing the hydraulic filter. It is a very poor design. There is a pin that the splitter pivots on (horizontal and vertical) and where that pin attaches to the tank (frame), there are just 2 welds and both welds are cracked. The service shop tells me it is because I have been "roading it too much", ie moving it around, but the most it gets roaded is to and from the shop and 50 ft in and out of the shed about 3 times a week. So now they are going to send a new tank and put my motor, wheels pump etc on the new tank. They have no clue how long it'll be till they get the tank, and the shop said it may take them a week or 2 to switch it all depending on how much other work they have in the shop. I could fix it, and make it a heck of a lot stronger then they did, but I am not fixing their mess and I am not going to risk voiding the warranty.
