I started with the Honda powered option at first and swapped it over to 240. Honda motor sitting on the shop floor that has just a few hours on it.
I have no regrets on the electric version. Dedicated 240 20 amp circuit with 2 locations to plug twist locks in. Run the most heavy cord you can afford. I'm #10 from the panel to the 2 locations in EMT, then drop down to #12. Cord set on the splitter is 20 feet. Then I have a 80 foot extension for the wood splitting area. I used SO 12-3 that I found on the internet, maybe fleabay but I don't recall. It was the end of a roll and pretty cheap and brand new. The Hubbell cord caps cost more than the cable.
It's doubtful I'll ever split further than that away from the house but in 20 mins I can do the swap if I need to.

That'd be the table flanking the beam, two halves. Can't imagine using one without the table - love my HD, total overkill!

Mine was delivered fully assembled for no extra money. The dealer poured the oil in the motor and added gas.
Sorry for the stupidity on my part.

I see they added two more legs on each side of the table. Wonder why?
With my single leg I let the wood pile up to the point that the splits push the SS along the ground leaving a windrow of split logs behind. One of these days I'll build a slip on shoe with an angle on the front like a ski.

I beleive it is partially for table support and also an attempt to keep up with the pack. Split wecond splitter has outriggers like this. The nice thing is you can mount them further back toward the motor if you wish or even across the front.
I agree on the front part- im gonna add a wheel that can lock. Easy to move splitter by hand and also the ability to stabilzed it in uneven ground.
Regards
Well- finally finished putting things together
Its the HD model but doesnt say it anywhere, not sure why
Gonna split a couple cord
Tomorrow
Yeah
I'm guessing you'll have a big grin on your face after going through those cords - hope you have a helper - these things can keep 6 hands busy!
Look forward to hearing your thoughts...

I have an electric J model , Quite, Fast and Clean. No smoke, or oil & gas to deal with is Great !
It's even made ( mostly ) in the USA. I understand the fly wheels may come from Canada.
All the Best with your New splitter.

That's good to hear, my statement was from apx 5 years ago. Maybe Paul for Supersplitter can clarify what percentage of his machine is made in good old USA ?
