    Automatic transmission fluid is good for year round use.

    Exactly what I used in mine. I made sure to ask and verify that it would not affect the warranty at all; it was even listed as an alternative in the owners manual. (You know.....that pamphlet looking thing that is included in purchases of stuff? ;))

    05AA7031-9ECE-4F09-8727-83687BE8C0C6.jpeg I have the huskee 22ton. It’s split a ton of wood, lately the valve has been sticking in the position that extends the wedge. I looked on line for a parts diagram of the valve, all I could find was complete valves. Anybody know if these things are rebuildable?

    Probly just a throwaway item like everything nowadays...

    Try taking the pin out that connects the handle to the actuator rod....rotate rod 180 degrees n reconnect. May or may not work but its worth a try.

    I agree sounds like it is getting worn and catching. turning it should buy some time.

    I ordered the log table with my DHT 35 ton the log catcher also came with it so I drilled a couple holes and mounted it on the opposite side now the wood doesn't fall to the ground.

    Well, right now I could insert those Chinese tires in someones @$$!!! :zip: DSCN3210.JPG DSCN3211.JPG DSCN3212.JPG It should have said "FREE FLATS" instead of "Flat Free"... :headbang: They are completely worthless and falling off the rim and I only moved it 10ft last night. I had to show you so know-body would buy this garbage!!! They are maybe good for a kids cart or very minimal weight but not a log splitter! :headbang: You all know the old saying, "you get what you pay for"... I should have known and I live by that for the most part. I'm generally a very picky shopper, but I tried to save a couple bucks and now it'll cost me double. :picard: Don't buy these Chinese JUNK tires off of e-bay!!! :headbang:

    That does suck indeed. I had a wheelbarrow do that to me (while pouring concrete), fell apart in four or five trips. Talk about stress, the next tire was vetted, and cost more than the wheel barrow.

    I have dealt in some Chinese goods over the years from ATVs, Small Motorcycles, Scooters, etc. I have nothing good to say about any of those products. I had to perform more free warranty work than I care to remember. One thing that never changed was the quality, at best it was inconsistent and from 10 feet away the products looked good. I don't buy their junk anymore.

    Sorry to see that happen. At least it happened at home rather than out in the bush.
