My buddy has this model and it is pretty impressive. He can split a lot of wood in a short amount of time. It might be a bit overkill for your needs, but what's wrong with being overkill?!

I would be more inclined to go with this one with one of those 10% off Lowes coupons:

I have looked at that unit a couple of times just to look (not in the market). I like it, but have NO experience with it. It has a neat design.
One thing to think about...it doesn't have a log lifter and won't go vertical. Everything must be lifted to the beam. If that is not an issue to you, then no problems.

Thanks for the replys. It is 080 right now but I think it will go on sale sometime for 600. Then I can use 20 percent off coupon. I could always switch motors or pumps down the road as long as the still is well done.

The horizontal only does seem like a potential issue though.

Thanks

+1

IMO, that's the best value buy in the entry level splitter market today.

When do you expect to see this sale? That sounds like an amazing deal. I'm on the mailing lists, but I've never seen this unit go for $600.

There's a banner outside the HF near me (Natick, MA) for a black friday sale. Not sure if this splitter will be on sale, but that's their next big sale.

Got it. Thanks. I'll keep my eyes open for it.

When I look at the link, it says regular price is $1,299 and sale price is $799. I have a 25%-off coupon, so I could still get it for $600.

The catchers look a bit spindly. But overall it looks like a pretty darned good value, especially if you can get it for $600.

Make sure you read the coupon exclusions, I know the 20% off isn't valid on some of the larger items they sell. Compressors, generators, welders and floor jacks I know are excluded from the coupon so there may be more.

for who may be interested, I just called HF order line and asked about in store availability and there is none in my area, so they offered 100 bucks off, so $699 plus $89 shipping.
can't pull the trigger on it myself...not really my thing

northertool.com has a similar splitter. It seems neat, but I have run into enough that I don't want to try and lift up there........no vertical option is a deal breaker to me.

Better read the fine print on that 20% coupon- usually says not good on sale items.

Very true.

if u call them to order...no need for coupon..they will give 100 bucks off..they did when I called..but I didn't order it...wanted to see if it was available locally.

Do yourself a favor if you can afford it, go with the huskee 22, you won't be disappointed, with splitters, you get what you pay for. I waited extra time to get more money to get the huskee, it was well worth it.....just my opinion

 

[DanCorcoran]

I beg to differ. Here's the latest coupon I've received. It says, "...cannot be used with...in-store event or parking lot sale items". I've never bought an item at an in-store event or parking lot sale, but have used these coupons on scores (literally) of regular sale items. These are the ones advertised in their flyers that don't require a coupon. They have the regular price and sale price on the bins in the store.




And here's a receipt from Sept. 29, 2014. As you can see, the second item (nitrile gloves) were regularly $11.99 and on sale for $7.49. I used a 20%-off coupon and bought them for $5.99.
