    Thats pretty fast.
    Do you give up any power for speed?
    I like the idea of the cycle time being about half the time of the TSC splitters

    Oops my bad 10.9 sec cycle time... I don't think so because they use a 13pm pump rather than the tsc 11gpm pump.

    I think I could fit a 25" piece as well. I haven't measured it out but I can do that later tonight.

    She had a hard time using the old one and so we partially got a new one so she could also use it with ease. :thumbs:

    Do any of the dht models have auto return? It's a simple upgrade with just a different valve right? That's a nice price though.

    Warped5's apparently doesn't have it and he got his last summer.

    Maybe they just added that feature. It's really nice to have that. My parents mtd has that and it's slick.

    Auto return is a great feature, granted I stop mine just above the log I'm splitting.

    Pete,
    You just might have persuaded me to get the same one, or the next size up.
    Curious now as to whether or not there is an adjustable auto return ??
    I will be going to my nearest Lowes Tues or Wed to see if they have the DHT line.
    Congrats on the nice score !!
