Dirty Hand Tools 22 Ton on sale at Lowes this weekend

[DHT]

We just thought we'd let our fellow wood splitters know that Lowes has our 22 Ton DHT splitter on sale for $989 this weekend with fluids! If you are thinking of getting one, now might be a good time. Use their credit card for additional savings.

Cheers,
DHT

Just bought one tonight. I used the buy online and pick up in store option, that way I could use a 10% discount coupon I found by a google search. I will pick it up tomorrow after work and give it a good workout this weekend. I'm pretty excited as this is my first splitter and hand splitting for years was getting old.

Might have to look into this.

Really liking mine so far. Split around 3 cords with it. The log tray/catcher is a must. 99% less bending over picking up splits.

Will post a full review after she's had a few more hours of usage.

Picked up my splitter at lowes today. I requested one that was still in the crate because I didn't want to tow it the long distance home. It went together smoothly and fired right up after adding engine oil. I was surprised, after looking at them on dht's website, that the log table was not included. I figured since the table was shown as being included on the website the ones sold at lowes would also since it is the DHT 22 ton model. I split with it tonight for about 3 hours and it performed very well, although a log table would have been very handy. What's up with this DHT?

Maybe in a different box, and it was just not noticed. Most likely if it is advertised with it, you can go back and get it.

I also purchased a 22 ton model upon seeing this post. They had a unit together outside the store hooked up and came on home. Soon as I get it unhooked take a step back boom no log catcher!! Called Lowe's up they broke two more crates open no log catcher. He proceeded to send me a picture with the log catcher listed as an accessory. I really bought this splitter because it was one of the standard features not a 50 dollar accessory like tsc splitters.

Sorry guys it was not our call on the log catcher. Lowes decided to include hydraulic oils, which we include when we ship from Colorado, and sell the log catcher separately for the 22 ton. They include the log catcher on the 27 ton. We have several thousand catchers in stock so if you need one just call customer service. It will also be available for order on the Lowes website as soon as they update it, which we hope is within a week.

We are adding a note to our webpage next week to avoid confusion about the catcher. The Lowes 22 Ton Part Number / Model is the only one that does not include the catcher. Every other retailer sells the standard 22 Ton part number 100171. The Lowes part number is 101507, and their pictures, ads, website do not show the catcher, again not our call.

At any rate, congrats on the purchase and thanks for the positive review!!

Stopped by Lowes today. They didn't have it in stock but can get one shipped in 5 days. Free assembly and fluid. They also had a Troybilt 22ton with Honda engine for the same price on the floor. My question to DHT is why should I chose yours?

 

[DHT]

There should also be a hang tag on the tank with the accessories you can buy. The log catcher, cover, and 4 way are included on it. Sorry if there was some confusion, maybe they'll let us include it in the future. At any rate, we hope you think you are still getting a good deal!!!

Nope Lowe's website just shows the operator side so I assumed... so I reckon I'll just bend over and pick it up off the ground . How much is the catcher gonna set me back? Let me guess 50 bucks

Not sure of the price off hand, you can call customer service during business hours, wait until the Lowes site is has it, or you will be able to buy direct on our website in about a week or so. Off all the accessories you can get though, the catcher is money well spent.

This weeks Lowes ad shows the DHT splitter from the front 3/4 view. Admittedly difficult to see there is no catcher... look at page 3.

Off hand, ours has these features which the TB does not: Adjustable detent valve, coil protected pressure hoses with NPT fittings (opposed to hose clamps), horizontal shaft Kohler engine with .95 gallon fuel tank vs Honda with .3 gallon and vertical shaft for longer run time, full beam construction, fully boxed tongue with a flip down stand vs U channel and pin, manual canister, in-tank suction screen and return line filtration, larger coupler L090 vs L075 for increased durability, larger pump 13 GPM vs 11 GPM for faster cycle time, built in log cradle which will last forever, ability to add a 4 way wedge and log table. Lastly it looks cool and you will have the satisfaction of helping a little employee owned company grow as opposed to putting money in the pockets of a big conglomerate. Those are some of the reasons, maybe not all of them.....oh and we sponsor this forum!!

Cheers and good luck either way!!

Keep rubbing in the log catcher why don't you lol. All jokes aside I did play with it for about an hour tonight. Added oil little gas two pulls she took right off! Cycled the ram as per instructions then cut it off. Checked all the fluids and bolts off we went. I can say this much everything seems to be well thought out and the cycle time compared to my buddies thirty ton is amazing. The controls are well placed and the real trailer jack is SWEET. Another nice feature over my buddies is the spring loaded pin so much nicer it can be used with gloves, and doesn't require a pull to let the beam back down. So moral of the story good price good machine and I'm happy even if tsc is giving away log catchers for free this week lol.

All right, you sold me. I'll be placing an order this weekend.

Happy to have you on board!! Thanks!

 

[bassjam]

Thanks for the heads up! I've been debating on getting either the Ariens or the DHT, this might sway me. My brother already said he'd share the cost, if I can get my dad to do the same I might be picking up a DHT splitter this weekend.

 

[JSGAuto]

Bought mine last night! But they have me waiting till today to pick it up, since they had none assembled.

Looking forward to it! $890 (online 10% off coupon) + tax = $950 What a deal!

Still cheaper then the TSC one, those are $999 w/log cradle + tax = 1070

Extra features/quality will be nice. First project for me is welding a log table. Then splitting the 2-3 cords of rounds I have waiting.

Thanks to DHT!!!!!

I should have waited to buy a splitter. I have a Huskee 22 tn with the briggs I bought last November. Happy with it; it is a great machine no problems, but would love to have a quieter engine, larger gas capacity and faster cycle time that the DHT has.
