Finally Made My Choice

[CT-Mike]

I have been trying to decide on a splitter for the last two years or so. Finally made up my mind and went with a Timberwolf TW-2. I was thinking about going to the TW-2HD but I really couldn't justify the extra expense giving how many cords I go through a year. one drawback with the -2 is that it splits towards the hitch. Really a PITA when you are finished for the day and it is time to put it away. I guess adding the outfeed table will help, I guess I will have to pony up the extra dough for that add-on. Anyhow, I was able to split 3.5 cords working by myself in about 4 hours.

Very happy with the machine, the 9 second cycle time is great.

Will post pic's tomorrow.
Edited to add: Should've said 2.5 cords above, not 3.5

ATB,

Yikes...I Google up an image and was surprised to see the controls were opposite of ours. I suppose after an hour or so on it it would become 2nd nature. Good luck...that's the last splitter you'll ever buy.

just wondering, because there isn't a local dealer around here, what did that unit set you back?

Exactly. I wanted a machine that was waiting on me instead of the other way around.

With the 4-way wedge and the governors cut (6%), I paid $3100 out the door. List price is $2995, another $200 for the 4-way, and $192 for the tax. All told he gave me a deal that saved me $292. It did come filled with gas, oil, and hydro as well. Great sales staff and service, and I was able to support a local saw shop as well. Same shop where I bought the MS361, the 038AV, as well as hiring him to truck a load of logs to my house.

Always nice to support a local small business when you can.
