I recently purchased one of the new Huskee 22 ton splitters with the Kohler engine. It is advertised to have the same 13 second cycle time as the old Briggs model. However mine has a cycle time of 19 seconds. Well I took it back to my local TSC today because the pump has a considerable whine to it. They had a new one that was just put together yesterday. Well that one had an 18 second cycle time after considerable warm up. I am wondering if they may have changed something that has lengthened the cycle time. We checked one of the 35 ton units and it had a 15 second cycle time from a dead cold start. So I am sure it would have made the 13 seconds after a little warm up.
Has anyone else purchased one of the new models and timed it? What about the Briggs version? Where they achieving the advertised 13 seconds? I am kind of pissed about this. Since I cancelled a Sears 27 ton that I only paid $950 for after the sale price and coupons. Thinking that I would rather have the 13 second cycle time rather than the 27 ton with the 19 second cycle time. So what is the deal? Are the advertised times bogus? Or did they change something in the new model that makes it slower?
