Oregon 28 ton log splitter

I can get the Oregon with table and 4 way wedge for less that 1700, I cant find a equivalent speeco for any cheaper....

What you are getting for that is a Kohler residetial grade motor. What you get on the speeco from Omni is a commercial grade motor. Big difference, IMO. For the close to $2 grand price I would think paying less to get the same is a good thing. Also, you will want to pay attention to the placement of the operators station and log stops.

I wonder what the speeco 28 ton can be had for?

The local Farm and Fleet has them on sale right now for $1350 and if you take out one of their credit cards you get another $100 off.

north star 37 ton V/H with honda gx 270 engine with idle down feature, 10 gallons fluid res., built in log cradle, it's on sale for 1899 now...I paid more for mine. I have one with a 4way and have split @30-40 full cords since january, just another option to consider

That idle down feature would be sweet!

I would get the speeco but it doesn't have the larger tires and Jack. Do you guys not like the kohler motor that comes on the Oregon?

I like it...but it's faster if you don't let it retract all the way into the garage and keep putting wood on,shortens the stroke, faster, I can do that if I have help. without help I pull - retract- and go get another log while it retracts and drops back to idle while I load. I don't have lots of experience but a friend has an older version of my splitter and that's what made me get one. Mine has plenty of power for the 4-way, really speeds things up...I'm sure others are good, but the Honda motor is nice. one pull start EVERY time...never two and I can split all day on a gallon
