BRAND NEW $899 Speeco 22T at Fleet Farm - Do I have a choice?

[wldm09]

22T Speeco with 6.5HP B&S;engine. Normally $1,099, currently on sale for $999 but if I get the Fleet Farm credit card (which I will pay off the next day), they give me an additional 10% off. HMM. My Domestic Manager (wife) still needs convincing... I don't think I can build one for that! Thoughts?

In my opinion, definitely the best bargain out there. Don't they also fill it with fluid for you (cost included)? It will probably split most anything you can every feed it.

That is about what I paid for my 20 ton 5hp without fluid. In 1988!

She has seen the light and my request for funds has been approved! WOOHOO! I figure it will last me about 20 years, based on that last post about a splitter purchased in 1988, which means that will cost me about $45/year.

... and save me probably 5 trips to the chiropractor in that timeframe and up to hundreds of hours of labor. ;-)

Yep. I bought mine when I thought that it was arthritis making my shoulders hurt all of the time. Turned out it was from absorbing the impact of splitting five to six cords a year. After I got the splitter they quit hurting.

Knowing how much a 6 ton splitter will do I don't think the one you probably picked up by now will give you any issues.

IME 22 ton will split everything it encounters.

That's about the same price I paid 4 years ago. They listed at $999 then on sale for $949 , but 10% off your first purchase on a TSC card, 90 days same as cash.
Mine has been very good, with about 30 to 35 cords through it. I did stop it a couple of time on some 20" hickory crotches, but the saws took care of that. I'm happy with mine.
I'd would recommend you go get it, unless you really what to build one for personal satisfaction reasons .
I don't see you getting one cheaper, unless it is used and used splitters go fast around here.
