    Wait a second here.....

    The guy that is splitting all of his wood by hand is worried about how much work it will be to move a splitter on wheels? :confused::rofl: :lol:

    It's all about getting out to the work site as quickly and efficiently as possible. I do everything in 30 minute bursts of activity. Time=wood.

    Then your decision has been made. The dual speeds of the HF unit plus the superior wheels will pay dividends in your case.
