Hello,
Does the troy built really have a 19 second cycle time? Seems too slow? Any opinions on either machine as far as quality, reliability and ability to split? What would I get from the troy built that I would not get with the Huskee? Thank You

19 sec would be a full cycle,but I dont ever need to go the full cycle. Usually only need 6-8 in. then hit the return back up and hit another one.(thats on a 18 long)

Mine took 21 seconds when I timed it today, but it was cold.

Seems too slow?

Not too bad. Some times I stack the splits while the ram is on the return.

Any opinions on either machine as far as quality, reliability and ability to split?

This is my first season with the Troybilt and I am happy with it so far. It has split everthing that I have asked it to.
