I just called Speeco and talked to their rep. According to him, it doesn't look good for the Speedpro. He says "engineering is still looking at it and there is no release date as of yet" and "I would buy a different unit rather than waiting for this one".
I'm just relaying what he told me, I hope he's wrong, as I wanted to get one of these...
i didnt wait for them to re-release the speedpro. went to supersplit last week and picked up a splitter ( returned my speedpro a week earlier after a catastrophic rack failure..and yes..it had been updated). interestingly, was in mass visiting family who happen to be 45min from supersplit!
after touring the supersplit shop and talking with the owner(paul), i realized what a dangerous, poorly designed machine the speedpro was... glad it's gone. the supersplit model is very well made and runs great. i finished welding up a tow hitch for easier moving... didnt realize they also make a heavy duty model with 90lb flywheels...
I have one of these splitters and need a splitter head (the whole piece). Anyone know where to get parts?
thanks.
yeah I contacted them today. The told me they won't sell me parts unless I have a proof of purchase from TSC..... what a #### move.

I must have to only SpeePro that has not failed. It ran great before the "mod" was performed and is humming along without problems now. It looks like the DR is coming apart too.:msp_scared:
There is a tractor supply in Greeley possibly they can order parts for you.I have one of these splitters and need a splitter head (the whole piece). Anyone know where to get parts?

After seeing what Patriot wrote Speeco won't even sell you parts if you aren't the original owner.Bought a Speeco, Speedpro, ( AKA "Bleed-Mo") a year ago from TSC. It was amazingly fast at the beginning. I was really proud of myself for "scoring" on the greatest wood splitter ever. But NO !! In fact I was a complete fool and I was soon "parted from my money".
After the first cord of wood it never really worked right--sometimes engages, sometimes not. If you talk to it nice, and jiggle it a little, it will tease you into thinking it could work. It does occasionally. Other times the handle kicks up so hard that your wrist could be pulverized if your bones are weak. If this machine were a woman, you would call it a real G.D. #####. But Cussing at it does not help.
In any case it is nearly brand new, kept in barn. Engine probably has less than 10 hours on it. Still has a few of the tags on it. Nice trailer. Good tires. Nice road trailer hitch. Nice Kohler 5.5hp engine. Its worth something, but probably wont split your firewood this season.
It needs a new owner who likes to fix things.
FYI TSC wouldn't take it back after 60 days.
Called Speeco. They said it was probably "broke", and that I just needed to fix it. Said take it to a service center. Said find service center on the web. If its still under warranty they will cover it (they know it's not). I was thinking that maybe they they should just buy it back as it came very close to crippling me and still might if I try to use it again---Company said it would be OK to use it still as the handle is a "momentary engagement" mechanism--and does not need to be pressed continuously- will disengage before it kicks back ( Ha!, you try it).
I'll be looking for that Speeco name next time I buy something. I have a 3 point PTO splitter too with their name on it. It's real slow but it works. Still I might be forced to sell it too because I can't stand to see that name every time I go out for a nice day of wood cutting.
