I was looking into purching a preowned 34 ton Champion log splitter but after some studying on it I decided to go with a preowned 27 ton Champion splitter. The wood I split is normally easy splitting stuff compared to what I’ve seen folks split back East. Alder usually pops open just an inch or two after the wedge contacts it. The 11 second cycle time also caught my eye. I do feel pretty good to pick up this splitter for $850 as it is slightly used and less than a year old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hey Reloader you did well. Those 27 ton's have a good reputation. Aside from the cycle speed there is the mass of the unit. The higher the tonnage, the harder they are to wrestle and move around. Also I have a buddy with a slightly smaller machine than my 35 T that can get through a 36" gate (you have to kind of kitty corner and pivot through but it does go!) and I can't. Wish you the best with your new toy!
Nice! Before I found mine, I borrowed a 22T and it did everything I asked of it. I think you did well.
Nice looking splitter. Cant blame you there. Why pay more for something you don't need. Wanna see pics of it in action soon!
