Just thought I would give anyone a heads up that is looking for a cheap splitter, these are at my local lowes for $899, on sale, part number 106080(Kohler engine). With my dad's .Mil discount, $860ish out the door. This was built in Feb 2017 and looks like it has sat outside for several months. I looked at several and wanted the Iron & Oak 26 ton but with a friend going in half, he didn't have that much to give. The DHT 22 ton seemed to be the fastest and cheapest.
We were using a older 12 ton with a slow cycle time, while it worked, not very productive. The DHT is much faster and being able to split vertical sure helps with the big rounds. Haven't tried any green stuff but all the seasoned we have has been no problem.
I'd like to have a better axle and tires, they only recommend going 45mph or less. Good thing our wood lots are 1/4 mile apart. I have built a table vs. buying theirs, will try to get some pics up of it soon. If you don't have the materials and welder, buy their table, lol.
