Timberwolf TW-1 Log Splitter

Anyone own one? One listed locally on FBM. 5-6 years old and lightly used by a homeowner and a friend. Cant find much info on one and price. None listed on the Timberwolf site either. Any input appreciated FHC.

 

Buy buy buy!

 

If it’s local I’d be checking it out!

That was the only one i found online. His has the grate. He is asking $2100

 

Looks like you can buy a brand new one for about $2500?

 

The only one new i found was in Georgia. Plus sales tax here.

 

Right, if you know it's been well taken care of then it might be worth his asking price.

Looking up Georgia sales tax and you could pay anywhere from 4-9%. So up to $225 in taxes but could be just $100. So a potential savings of about $700 over new.

I'd much rather buy from a private party then give the government anymore of my money.

 

Another reference.

 

I believe Jon_E has one

 

I’ve had one maybe 15 years. Has been good to me (Honda engine, Prince hydraulics). Timberwolf today is a different company/location/etc from the people who designed the TW-1, 2, 5 series.

 

I’m not sure I would sell my 15yr old machine for $2,000, unless I had a line on a TW-2HD or TW-5 cheap.

 

Has wear plates on the push block that I’ve replaced a couple of times. I have the 4-way, and use it. I got the table grate 7 or 8 years ago and really like it.

 

2 green mtn boys got one buZZsaw BRAD
I forgot about Flamestead

 

I’m 6’, and can’t stand (!) a short splitter. Even with this one I sometimes put a wood block under the stand to lift it.
The tray is built to move away rather than stay put and slice off a body part. It works well, but kinda balances on the tongue.
I roll mine around by hand short distances (tractor or ATV for longer).

 

Throw back tires up on oil ramps.. works great

 

4-way is an offset design, meaning if you flip it you get a different height. I split Goldilocks stuff with it at the higher height, with the two top splits going onto the pile, and resplitting the two that passed underneath.
