So I'm in my early 40s and my grandfather, at 95 finally made his way into the next life today. We were close, and he was the original firewood hoarder in the family, so it seemed fitting to run some rounds through the splitter that he passed on to me a number of years ago. The machine still works as hard as ever! He bought the Super Split in the 90s, originally as the electric model. Later he converted it to gas, they sent him the engine and all the needed parts to do so. When he couldn't hoard wood anymore he gifted the splitter to me. Hadn't run in a few years, so I did a carb swap and tuneup on the Honda. Then called Super Split, and man are they a great operation. Talked direct to one of the owners, he looked up the records and had my grandpa on file, so he just added me to the account and gave me the rundown on the machine. Sent me new springs, bumpers, shims, and a handle upgrade kit, talked me through the process to swap everything out. Once the work was done, the splitter was like new, I hope to pass it on to my grandson one day and it's built well enough for sure. So some splits got made, and thoughts were pondered. Hoard on everyone, and make sure to pass it on to someone who will love the life as much as you do!
So sorry to hear of your loss. Im sure he was looking down and smiling watching you split. Nice set up you have there. Those kinetic splitters are nice machines. I was looking into an electric one recently.
My condolences to you and your family. Im sure everytime you run the splitter, the memory of your grandfather will be there. Hoard on brother.
