Just picked up a used splitter. How did I do??

[mybowtie]

Just picked at a used Timberwolf TW2 with a 9hp Honda, 4 way wedge, Log rack/cradle, and log lift for $1400.
Splitter is less then 2 yrs old, and in VGC. Pick it up Friday...Looking foward to splitting some wood this weekend.
Guy said he paid 2600+ tax with the options. Have a Dealer in town, so any parts needed will be esy to get.

That is the Cadillac of splitters for the price of a chevy. I would say you scored, good luck and welcome.

Wasnt on CL.. Friend wants a bigger one, and I happened to mention I was looking for a good used machine. I know the owner, and know the history of the machine. I'll post some pics when I get her home.
Installing my Woodmaster OWB this week, and have a bunch of wood to split. Was close to heading to Tractor Supply and picking up a 22 ton Husky

Indeed, here it is (broken link removed to http://albany.craigslist.org/grd/1387322844.html). Given what he has and wants for it, you got a great deal.

 

[mybowtie]

Yes, I seen that add. That one doesn't come with the log lift or rack. Even though the log lift is a manual type, I tried it with a 150#
oak round, and it was much easer then the heave-ho method.

Wow, you got a great deal on a great splitter, congratulations.

Good deal imo...Timberwolf is a well built splitter. all you do with that is split wood...no mods required. 1400 isn't jack for equipment your son will pass off to his son.

You did very badly. If you drop it off at my house we will never speak of it again.

Well thre deal on the tw2 fell through :down: ....
.....As luck would have it, I found a tw p1 with the log lift, table, and 4/way. for $950.00 :cheese:. Basicly the same frame and set up as the tw2.
tw1 has a 5.5 honda and a smaller ram
and pump. I picked it up today, and split 2 cord of mixed ash, maple and cherry. Maple was a large knotty mess. Splitter handled it with ease.
