I purchased the preowned splitter several years ago. So far I’ve replaced the control valve and it continues to run fine. I like to be able to split while seated so this is set up well for that. As always there is some very punky wood mixed in the stacks but quite a bit of good Maple and Alder as well. Most of the wood around here is easy to split so #sinking the wedge an inch or two into the round pops them right open. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
