    I believe it is a speeco clone. DHT claims they use better components but who know's. I think it all comes from China any ways.

    Nice looking splitter. Are the parts available when you need them?
    Looks like you have a work table on the other side too?

    DHT is supposed to have a great support team/warranty. Hope i never have to talk to them(LOL). Yes it did come with a log catcher witch is always nice to have. Thanks for all the kind word's gentleman.

    If I get a splitter, I'm thinking it'll either be this one or the TSC county line. Give us an update after you've put it through it's paces :thumbs:
