After a lot of thinking on what splitter I wanted to get I decided to get a Split Second. Jake at Split Second responded to my emails quickly and I talked to him on the phone one day and he knew his product. When we (my Dad is half owner) ordered it my Dad talked to Linda and he said she was also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the splitter. Linda even returned his called today on her way home from work on her cell phone and she said don't hesitate to call her if we have any questions.
The other splitter I was considering was a Super Split HD. I chose the Split Second over it because of the retractable tongue, the telescopic jack, lower engine placement for lower center of gravity, wider stance and adjustable height.
I got the Split Second splitter bundle which includes the splitter, log lifter, tool tray, and cover. https://splitsecondlogsplitter.com/Products/Product-Details/ProductID/14Then I also got the the log dolly. They are currently doing free shipping.
The splitter was "boxed" well. The splitter was pretty much assembled when it was delivered. The tongue had to be installed (2 pins) and bolt the table on. The engine had to be filled with oil. I also installed an hour meter before it was ever started. I need to get some holders for the wire on my hour meter yet.
The engine started on the first pull. The Subaru is a great running engine. The splitter has really impressed me. So far it has split everything on the first hit. It is ridiculously fast. The table is nice and big to leave splits on there that need resplit. I have not used it with the log lifter yet, I just put it on but it should make things more productive. I plan on using it as a staging table.
If anybody has any questions or if there is anything you would like know about the splitter or any thing you would like to see a picture of let me know.
It came on 2 pallets.
