If you have about $5000, which splitter would you buy?

[QUOTE="NSMaple1, post: 5366404, member: 113429"] I guess it depends on the back, but my semi-wonky one does a lot better going vertical for the big stuff. I don't usually have to squat - just roll the round up across a small piece of round stuff right into place under the wedge, then hit the lever while standing. Doesn't take that much effort especially if you can get the splitter down hill a bit from the rounds. If I do want to get down to where the wood is once the big stuff gets smaller & some resplitting is needed, I just sit on a round. 10 cords a year isn't really a big amount, I couldn't justify a $5k expense here for that - I would take the $3500 difference for say an Ariens or DHT or Huskee or the like and put it towards something else I could use. To each their own though... [/QUOTE]
