Greetings, a newbie here.
Im looking for a horizontal/vertical splitter, we heat with a Lopi revere and for the past few years have rented a splitter, but the place we rented it from is outta biz and Home Despot wnats double the price for the exact same machine.
So its time to buy or build.
Cant find a deal on a used one, I guess no one ever sells a splitter huh?
Anyhoo, the 22 ton for $999 at Tractor Supply will do us fine.
But at that price is it even worth it to build your own?
I have a friend that is a great welder & fabber that will do it for a friendly fee.
Even getting the matls at scrap prices and the welding done cheap The pump, cylinder, valve, engine & oil, add up quick.
