I believe the same company makes the brute and the countyline. I'm loving my countyline. Don't think you could go wrong with either one really.
Just checked...my local TSC is also at $899 on sale....missed out over the weekend on an older splitter AND an 025 Stihl for $400!
Bummer.....people are getting some rediculous prices for beat up splitters too. Keep ur eyes open....somethin will come along.
True...I've seen some worn out machines on CL that people want $6-800...and when you read the post, they talk about carb needs cleaning...fitting leaking...etc.
Thanks Dennis...I hadn't seen this deal...I have a buddy looking for a deal on a splitter, I'll let him know about this one too
Tractor Supply 25 ton County Line $699 here too, That's good deal , I paid $700 For my Huskee Used , It was in almost New condition though
That old Brave in my Avatar...I believe my Dad bought it in 82 for $225 on sale from Tractor Supply...still starts on 2nd or 3rd pull. Tires are getting a little iffy now...Not sure how the newer ones hold up though, I would expect them to be pretty good.
Thats great to be able to keep that in the family n what looks like to be in really nice shape...especially for the age...
Best thing I ever did to that spliter is add a dual wheel/drop leg trailer jack. The dual wheels give it a larger foot print and really do help it from sinking in like the old metal drop leg, also when the jack is down the dual wheels make it much easier to move around by hand...one of the most useful things I have ever bought at Harbor Freight.
I know, 36 years old...better shape than me. Using it and taking care of it remind of times with my Dad seemed like CSS was a weekend past time for us for a lot of years...miss that an miss him...he always said if I took care of it then it would last 50 years...14 years to go...she might just make it.
I’m betting it’s at least partly one! Probably used one to make a new one. I’ll have to ask Nicks father since we got it off him. It ran like a champ I used it a lottt! He built himself a real nice and big splitter that Nick copied to make our new one. Those guys can build or repair anything, it’s awesome ~Lissa
