These have received a lot of coverage here. I want to finally buy a 22-25 ton splitter. I don't have a budget; meaning I can buy whatever I want, but I'd just as soon not spend more than I need to for an effective unit. I looked at the DHT's at Lowes. They do look solidly built, but everything on it looks to be Chinese, including the "Kohler" engine. They look to be a Speeco, Huskee, Black Diamond clone except for the Colorado state flag on the unit. Is it the price or the customer service or what is it that has made them the "gotta-have-it" splitter when he looks like a lot of others...just with a different paint job? I was set on an Ariens 22T which is mostly American parts, but interestingly enough, it seems to be more lightweight than the DHT, but at a higher price.
To be honest, I think most any splitter will last a lifetime if you take care of it, so any of the above will be fine. I'm just curious as to why the DHT's have become so popular.
