The included hydraulic fluid is worth a surprising amount of money.
Congratulations on the splitter. It looks like a nice one. Dont let these guys get to you, the best splitter for you is one that you like. A guy I cut and split with knocked my Tractor Supply splitter, he thinks if you dont have a Honda engine you dont have anything. The engine is only part of the package, my Briggs has run perfectly, my splitter is faster than his and will split some stuff that his wont. I am happy with mine and I am sure you will be happy with yours, like I said it looks like a nice splitter.
I just bought this yesterday. I will be picking it up on Thursday. I am anxious to start using it and will give a report on it. I chose this model because of price, engine size (11 hp.) and features 27 ton. capacity. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

it could entirely be 27 tons given the 4.5 inch bore and a teeny bit of flywheel energy.
further, i bet it is REALLY fast with the 11 horse engine and a 2 stage pump.
pretty good buy in my opinion.

I am guessing a 6.5 hp and 19 sec cycle time based on info on MTD's site. Compared to a White Outdoor brand the only difference listed is a 2" coupler vs 1-7/8" coupler.
Most of the splitters spec out about the same with an occasional 16 gpm pump thrown in. You have to spend some dollars to get to the 22 gpm and up pump packages that are speced out on the commercial splitters. Read $5K + price tags.
Enjoy your new splitter. It will make your splitting chores easier.
