i've been shopping and doing research on many many different types log splitters. hydraulic and kinetic.
i think i see the value of the kinetic splitters, speed - speed - speed, i cannot justify the additional cost.
so with the hydro...i see/read lots of satified folks with tonage at 22 and have zero issues with them. So my question is, why do i need or should i spend more $ to get the +30 ton version? if anything, they are only 1-2 seconds faster....if any at all.
there is a two way splitter i saw from harbor freight. after watching some owenr videos, that wedge moves like a caterpillar. Slowwwww. so the time you gain with the dual direction, you probably lose with the ram speed.
so back to my question....do i need the extra tonage?
thanks for all the owner responses.
