huskee 28 ton splitter

here is a nice splitter for sale...at only $1k more than it sells for new.

this one has lived outside its entire life, judging by the faded paint and rust. the hydraulic oil all over the flatbed is a nice touch too.

i offered them $500 if it actually runs and splits...they haven't gotten back to me.

It that a repo kind of deal? The guy owes them 2500 clams so they are trying to get it out of his splitter? I'm busting a round here just laughing!

Dealing with whacked out teenagers at the moment.

Hey...just had someone send me a prospect who wants about $200-225 for a Stihl MS 290 18' bar, new chain...I'm still new the "used saw game"...what should I look for other than compression rate, scored piston and is this a decent price?

Thanks
REG

Take a decent sized piece of that hedge and see how it cuts it. Make sure everything works, choke, controls, chain brake, etc. Pull the air filter and make sure the carb's not full of sawdust. I'd probably go 2 bills if it's clean and in good order.

It won't stay running because he probably beat the #### out of it

My guess is he's been looking for a repair manual for a "huskyvirna". You would have thought, with the name right in front of his nose, he could have at least spelled it correctly.

Much obliged...if the carbs full of saw dust...what does that mean?

It was either run with a defective (leaking) filter, or no filter at all. Not a good thing to ingest all the crap that the saw produces. I wonder if you could get a compression check on it. Does it idle and accelerate smoothly, produce enough power to cut smoothly, and return to idle when you drop the throttle?

I have the 27 ton Troybuilt. Works great. What advantage would I have with the Timberwolf?

 

[scotte303]

my tb works great as well, however I want to up the production and sell some cords this year as well. I think the Timberwolf would be a better option.

If it's not faster what's the advantage? Longevity? Although I think I do like the 4 way wedge.
