I'm in the process of purchasing a wood splitter and I have it narrowed to two options. The first is the 35 ton Huskee with a 12.5 horse B&S that everyone is familiar with. The second is a 20 ton Bachtold Brothers TRV-26 with a 5.5 horse honda motor. Based on raw numbers, cylinder diameter, and pump GPM it seems like an easy choice, but there is implied quality and reliability in the Bachtold and Honda name. Both units are used, but in excellent condition. $1500.00 will buy me either one. I expect to split about 20 cord of mixed hardwood a year with this unit. I'm also open to recommendations of an alternate splitter under $2000.
I thank you for your input.
