    That's pretty cool and the price is right.

    • Stand, log tray and STROKE LIMITER included

    Yard max gets some pretty good reviews, and the larger hydraulic splitters a priced right as well.

    I was just watching the Yardmax video. The Stroke Limiter is just a set-collar on one of the tension rods with a thumb-screw for quick adjustment.

    Easy enough to do on any of these units.

    Yep, easy enough.
    I just find it refreshing that they are putting some good features on it like the table and the stand comes with it

    Resurrecting this thread to say I am STILL using my 5-ton Homelite. In the 13+ years I've had to replace the plastic wear pad under the pusher head, straighten the 6mm side plates attached to the pusher head, replace the wheels after I knocked it off the stand and broke one, and repair the welds that hold the wedge which had started to crack. Still doing its job with no complaints. If it's too big for this thing to split, its too big for me to be wrestling.
