The 1 horse powered splitter has a very interesting capability -- anybody notice?
Look at the split and retract speed. That has it all over my hydraulic splitter. I'm wondering what the mechanism driving the ram is -- friction, rack and pinion?
A machinist friend in New Hampshire has a screw driven splitter that he's had for 15 years. At the time he bought it, it was more expensive than an hydraulic splitter.
He swears by it. I haven't seen it myself, but he said the retract speed and his throughput is much greater than a hydraulic splitter. He splits about 10 cords a year for his own use, and also splits wood for his mother.
