A friend of mine loaned me his hydraulic log splitter. I don't know the brand of his unit but all I can say is these things are great. (I'm getting too old to use a splitting maul).
I'd like to buy my own and noticed a Harbor Freight 30T for $999 with Briggs and $1099 with Robin. I've always been leary of buying Harbor Freight but the engine is name brand and it's a Haldex pump. I can't imagine the cylinder to be all that bad.
For occassional homeowner use (ie several cord per year) will this unit suffice. My budget is about 1000-1500.
Any other considerations in picking out a unit. I saw some at Home Crapo but they had Tecumseh engines which I'd prefer to avoid.
TIA.
