Been after the wife for quite some to let me buy a hydraulic splitter. Yesterday whilst xmas shopping she said yes. To Lowes we went bc I had already decided on a 22 ton DHT. Split just a few rounds when I got it home before it got dark. No issues, plowed thru knotty maple and white oak. Today I got off work and wanted to start on the load of white oak in the back of my truck. Split for about 45 minutes and made quite a pile. Took a break to cut some logs into firewood size and move the splitter closer to those rounds. Started her back up, made one split, and halfway thru the second split the motor died. Absolutely will not restart. Has fuel and less than 1.5 hr runtime. Has oil. I'm not gonna go any further than that, back to Lowes it will go. Very frustrating.
