new splitter

I was wondering if a barely used MTD yard machines 25 ton, with the 6.5 horse briggs was worth $750. Any help or opinions would be appreciated. I would not be making a living with this splitter, it would only need to split roughly 10 cord of oak a year. Thanks again for any input.

That price doesnt sound to bad compared to what Ive been seeing around my area, course I would try to get it for $600-650, he must have some wiggle room. Did you look at it yet or you just see an ad?

sounds good to me!

Just depends upon what shape it is in. Price doesn't sound too bad but I'd try to get it lowered if possible. Both zap and I have MTD splitters and have no problems. Mine is a 20 ton with a 5 hp B&S engine. It is beginning to use a bit of oil but oil is cheaper than metal and this thing is over 20 years old now and has split well over 200 cord of wood.

I've had my mtd 20 ton 5hp B/S for 18yrs. split many cords. Love it.

You're most likely going to get years of service from that machine. Keep in mind that new machines in that class start at about $1000. $750 doesn't seem too bad if it is "barely used".

Thanks for all the help. I was about ready to pull the trigger on the machine, when another machine came available. I want to go look at it as well. It is a 3 year old 22 ton speedco with the 6.5 horsepower briggs. Asking price for this machine is $825. Do any of you guys have any comparisons on these two machines? Likes/Dislikes? Preferences? Thanks in advance.

Duke, you most likely would be happy with either one.
