Oh believe me....I got some wood to bust into. Started with some rounds of Maple and oak thats been sittin' for a year and a half....ran the darn thing outa gas. Got loads more to of Cherry, Hickory, Oak, and Maple...thats how I convinced the Wife I needed the Splitter....to much to swing a Maul at....and the Snowblower.....I work at a school, and have to shovel there, then come home and shovel hereestang said:

At the school I work at (Custodian), we have Ariens..9.5 HP....28 inch....haven't had a snow they couldn't handle since we got'em 10 years ago....so I figure, if I get the 11.5 HP...30 inch version, I should be set....the Log Splitter was a no brainer...I too am 52, and swinging a Maul at the amount of wood we use, or paying a rental fee 3 times a year...it just made sense to buy it...took a little while, and a lot of O/T to buy them, but well worth it....it was this forum that convinced me the Huskee was the way to go for the $$$...Thanks!ansehnlich1 said:Oh yes indeed, real nice splitter, and that ariens is sweet too!
I'm 52, and I love my simplicity blower, first year I got it we had little snow, and people ribbed me about a useless investment.
The next year we had over 4 feet in back to back nor'easters
The blower is perfect for makin' paths to the woodpile if needed.
I also have a 3pt splitter and wouldn't be able to process all my firewood without it!
.
The Splitter got to do some work today....more tomorrow....the Snowblower .....well, since I got it, we haven't had a flake of snow....Wife keeps sayin'..."What a shiny Snowblower" everytime we go thru the garage. The trade off is....I gotta go on a Cruise with her this spring....last time, she went with a friend, this time I gotta go....just not my thing :roll:bogydave said:That's "double dipping"
Way to go.
You'll get many years of good work from both.
Time to wear some of the new paint off them bad boys
Have fun
