CL Splitter, deal or no?

Thoughts?

montgomery ward gas log splitter

 

What kind of wood you plan on splitting? I look at that little baby and think I could beat it with my Fiskars, maul, and noodling. I almost exclusively use my splitter (20ton ish TW-P1) for the gnarlies; that one listed probably would not work for me. BUT, it may work for you. Tell us some more of your needs.

 

I split 7+ cords / year of pine, Douglas fir, larch, and aspen, 12 - 20 inches diameter. Mostly pine and Douglas fir.

Currently I am using the x27 pretty much exclusively, and am doing fine with it. I also have a 5 ton electric, which will split most or what I feed it, but it mostly starves as I am faster with the x27.

 

I do not think you would gain much by that splitter..

I think your 5 ton electric would do about the same job . If something like that come along for say a 100 bucks it would make a neat project , take it apart paint and make any repairs and see what it could do now that would be cool . But then again I can make a project out of any thing .

 

Hope you like the waffle design in your arse from sitting on a milk crate with that little guy!

 

Thanks for the responses, I'll pass on this one.

 

My buddy bought his didier splitter for less than that. That splitter is worth about 150. Maybe a little more, probably not though . But that thing has a tiny cylinder, I don't know how useful it would be.

 

that looks like a very small splitter.

Offer him $175 if it runs GREAT.
