Sold business in March. Stove not part of sale. Getting moved and installed at home. Selling my half interest in huskee 22 and moving about 2 cords home. That's why I've been absent. Big changes in routine. My gas Woodstock at home got me through withdrawal. Question is whether you know of a compact gas splitter to process about 2 cords? Don't have room for a huskee. Guy who bought my practice never used or wanted stove. It was a beautiful and unique feature of the office. Everyone liked it
15 Ton Horizontal Log Splitter | BHPCLS1513GC | Iron and Oak Looks like a good choice for a small maneuverable splitter. Iron and oak makes some good stuff. I'll build a little shed just for this. The huskee is a little too big for my small back yard.
Weight on huskee is 525 pounds. The iron and oak is Honda powered and half the weight. Easier to have in a suburban setting
Congrats on the sale of the business!! I remember you mentioning you were thinking about it a few years ago. I had this come up on a thread if it helps, several suggestions on there. I found decent wood for sale at a great price! | Page 4 | Firewood Hoarders Club
The huskee was not easy to maneuver. The iron and oak is almost as powerful if you can live with horizontal splitting. I rarely split vertically
What about renting when you need one? Have everything prepped and ready to go to minimize the rental time and no need to store anything.
If you only want it for your back yard, have you considered an electric splitter. They seem fairly compact.
I split all my wood for three and a half years with my 7-ton electric, all but the big ones I had sledge and wedge, or noodle to get them to lifting weight
That dual harbor freight seems great for the money. Never will be without wood heat for too long. Once you had it, you're not going back
After checking out dr splitters, I chose the k22 electric flywheel designed splitter with the heavier optional production table. Super split is too expensive. Refurbished and shipped to a shipping depot 5 miles away for $1,199. No sales tax or freight charges. Little assembly too. Quieter and Can operate in a shed or garage as its electric. Only downside is that it's not towable. Upside is the weight at 285 and narrow for getting thru tight gate openings and into and out of the garage or shed.
I'll post a review. Most use hydraulics, so this is different for sure. The production table will save some bending to pick up. I rarely split vertical anyways. This is horizontal only
They are running a sale. Normal price new is 1799 I believe. New right now with the table upgrade is 1499. Mine is factory rebuilt, which explains the deal
With only 2 cord to process, I would just rent a splitter. Then you don't have to store it while it's not being used..... May want to consider a rental.
