i have been looking for a DHT splitter for a while. none of out local Lowes have had any in stock and said they were not able to order any. went to TSC to kill some time while my wife had eye surgery and found this on clearance. not really what i wanted but the price was right. i think i can get my money's worth out of it.

Now you need to bring that to my house and we could compare it with mine
get James and some others to run them
I will BBQ some chicken and get this pile split in no time
this was taken back in may it's bigger now
I think it's time
That is a great deal on a splitter, and a new one at that! I paid full price for mine ($999), and it is the 22 Ton (was replaced by the 25). I have split over 20 cord for 3 years in a row with it, and the only maint has been to tighten some bolts that vibrated loose.
You will really like that splitter. It will cut or split anything that is wood that you put between those jaws.

That's crazy cheap, buy a couple and put them on CL for 900 lol. I bought one a few yrs ago for 700 that was never used and flipped it for 800, paid for all my gas for the trip and then I made the real money on the honda trx90 I bought
.Exactly, they are great splitters. If you have any idea on how to split a piece of wood they will do a great job.
I would prefer the 22 ton myself if the 25 has a larger cylinder as all the ones with larger cylinders(but the same engine) have a slower cycle time.
The "kohler" engine on those is a Honda clone motor. They work well from what b I've seen and if they ever go bad a Honda will bolt right up.
I had a speeco(they make the huskee and county line) that was the same setup before they discontinued the huskee line.

How do you guys wash your saws? Haven't ran mine in over a year and there's some serious gunk built up in it. Guess I should probably change the spark plugs too. Also have to get the Echo running soon
It is the same stuff, my County Line has a big H welded in the end of it (formerly Huskee). My engine runs flawlessly, just cover it if it rains (the exhaust will catch water and let it go toward the engine). I generally just put a board of piece of wood over it when not in use, and in winter put it in vertical mode and cover it with a HD plastic garbage bag.
My saws seem to stay clean but the ones I acquire are often dirty.
The real goopy ones get sprayed with Gunk brand engine scrubber then hosed off. Then restarted and ran to make sure all moisture is evaporated. Otherwise Dawn dish soap and hot water will bust the crud too. Then either dry with a rag or spray with WD-40.
Great price!

I have splitter envy now!
Splitter here in Canada costs your first born and a left nut! I have one cobbled together by someone's grampa that I run off the loader valve on my tractor. It's not ideal but beats swinging an axe....sometimes.
Just take the plug out check for damage, clean with a bit of Emery cloth, gap and put back.
Clean the air filter with a brush or airline if you have one, brush the crud off, if the chains are really manky then givethem a bath in white spirit in a jar, dry off then a good dose of oil.

Yes sir.
I've owned as many splitters as I have saws, maybe more lol.
I called all the TSC in MI and no-one has one for that price. I would have bought as many as I could get on the 20' trailer without damaging them/buying more straps. The best price I found was 799, and that won't last, some stores had them at 999 still LOL.
Last yr they were at 850 when they went on sale for Black Friday.
First start with pictures
.If it's real bad I will try to get as much off without getting any on me, I don't like to get dirty, really
. Then I will spray it down with purple power cleaner concentrate mixed 50/50 with water and let it soak, but continuing to spray it down so it absorbs in as much as possible. then I blow it off with compressed air with a nozzle that keeps my hands away as much as possible. If it's still dirty I repeat the process until it's clean, then I spray the whole thing down with wd40 and blow it all off again. I don't leave any large amounts of wd40 on it, but the wd40 get's all the water out of the small spots(water displacement/WD). I also spray all saws that I will be using in sappy wood with wd40 and then every time I refill I spray them again with more wd40.Have fun and remember it's like moping a floor, your basically spreading the dirt around and hopefully you can get it to blow off the sides(wiping with a terry cloth towel helps).
Take more pictures
and post them here or it didn't happen 
.
Dirt cheap splitters , next thing you know there'll be pics of it splitting oak and locust ,,,, Pfffffft
i'll go over it when i bring it home Friday since it was assembled by a TSC employee.
didn't have my 2" ball with me and plus it was raining and didn't want to get it wet.
Great price!
Yes, obviously keeping water out of air cleaner and muffler outlets.
