[QUOTE="Paul Bunion, post: 3927580, member: 24726"] I have a woodlot behind my home and I get my own firewood, Maple, oak, yellow birch and beech, mostly. I use about four cords a year and take trees up to around 20". I have been looking at wood splitters. I enjoy the exercise with a maul but I'm no spring chicken and my time is getting more valuable. My gut tells me to buy something in the 20k-25k lb range, vertical/horizontal with ideally, a Honda engine but I'd probably find the usual Briggs & Stratton to be perfectly reliable. I have read that a two stage pump is preferable. I was thinking of something as close to $1000 as possible for a new machine. It appears it will run me little more, say $1200 to $1400. My first question is :Is it worth it? 2. How much power should I get? 3. I am open to all or any recommendations. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
