I just purchased a Huskee 22T log splitter from Tractor Supply stores. (A 1000 store chain in the US.) It is made, ("assembled") by Speeco in the USA and was affordable. They make two bigger ones but all of the reviews and research clearly pointed me to this one and said no need to spend the extra $$ on the bigger ones. I bought it on sale in early December 09 for 999.99. It has a B&S motor and I just split my third trailer full of Hickory today. It starts on the second pull ever time since it was broken in a bit and runs well with moderate fuel consumption. I haven't written a review on it yet but I will very soon. I absolutely love this piece of equipment. It is the first one I've used but I have a lot of mechanical stuff and although I am a novice with many things talked about here I do recognize and appreciate good equipment. I think you'd be very happy with this item. It is better made than any I saw at Lowes or Home Depot. Good luck
Thanks for the heads up on the inline fuel filter. Mine does not have one but will real soon. I did weld up a simple three sided aluminum shield and attached it with three bolts to protect the hydraulic oil pump that hangs down below the engine. I figured it looked like something that I would eventually damage it was a simple safeguard. I am also going to build a shield for the oil filter which hangs in a precarious position as well.
I have a friend who assembles these at Tractor Supply and he said he had not seen any come back or heard any body complain. Good unit!
What kind of wood is that? It sure splits smooth.
norway maple
For a home owner who splits logs that are 12" and under what size splitter is the most economical that will split the wood easily. Mostly soft woods, maybe some oak and maple. THNX
Not familiar with that wood. Can you use it in a smoker?
