Final update to this thread. I've pulled the trigger on the replacement. The Swisher won me over on a few fronts. American made, huge hydro tank...
Bud, I agree on the welds. They were some of the ugliest I've seen. It's a shame that AS was more concerned with a site sponsor than one of it's...
Good review Buckthorn... I'm getting closer to making a move. It appears that the I&O is the same price (within $100) no matter where I look. I...
I think that is one of the places I was reading at the time I bought mine. They were a site sponsor there and had a rep posting all the time. I...
Sounds like you saw what I saw. The motor, cylinder, and pump were all decent. It's everything that tied them together that seemed cheap and not...
What didn't you like about it?
I think Lowe's probably owns them outright along with any issues after the sale with Frictionless World/DHT under bankruptcy protection.
I see a no warranty DHT splitter in the background. I wonder if Lowe's knows...
Yup, last week he worked at the Pretzel Mill at the mall. Now he's an OPE department sales manager... ;)
The welds on mine looked worse that those coming out of the local trade high school freshman class...
It's on their parent website but I'm not sure a buyer would be notified while buying at Lowes. Heck, I doubt a Lowes employee would even know.
Really? So, I made a good decision selling then! That makes me feel good... so I owe you one there! Were they made in the US? I see on their site...
Don't get me wrong, mine never gave me any trouble and my warranty was up by the time I sold it. But, I'd be ticked if I had just bought one and...
Thanks for the info!
Their parent company, Frictionless World, is still in business but is bankrupt. So, sometime last summer, they killed off DHT and a couple of...
Yes, that is an issue indeed Warner. Will see what American says about the option. I'm certainly not willing to keep a sledgehammer next to the...
That's the tough part. Buying sight unseen. I'd love to roll one around. Tilt one to vertical. Etc. If I had been able to do this with the DHT I...
Yes, DHT is Dirty Hand Tools which is what I just sold. It worked without issue but I am not a fan of the design... or the company after...
I have a system the way I split vertical for over 20 years so it's kind of an old dog / new tricks situation. Anything else would slow me down too...
Chris, the American can come with three different engine options. Briggs Intek 1450 is standard or you can option a Honda 8HP (probably a 240GX...
