I'll add a second vote for the Speeco 3pt. Just like Flashole's only different color.
I bought it last fall from Rural King. TSC didn't have one in stock, so called RK. They had one in stock, and was $100 cheaper than TSC. So made the trip. I paid $649 for the splitter. I also added the log catcher table, was another $45-50, don't recall. But bought that at TSC. LOL
I been happy with it. The speed, power, etc. will be dependent on your tractors hyd. pump. Its basically the same splitter as the 22 ton Husky. I have no problem with power at all. But, cycle time is a little slower than a friends 22 ton gas powered model.
I use it on a older Ford 5000 diesel tractor. Only has a 6.8 gal. per min. pump. Have used it on my Ford 7700 diesel also. Not much different, little faster maybe. I honestly don't think it uses much more fuel than a gas engined model. Easy to hook up. And when ya want to take it off the tractor, the parking stand makes it easy to put anywhere.
It will go vertical also. Have used it that way several times. My old 3pt. would not.
