if you have a Menards within driving distance of you and your looking for a decent splitter I see that Menards has the Forest King 22 ton model on sale for $799 no credit checks or rebates involved like they usually have for this splitter. I have the splitter and I like it. Some say the engine is not the best but so far it has done well for me.Menards has a deal on a splitter

Ya know, if you don't want to pay the $1100 for the fabulous Huskee 22, this actually looks like a nice unit for the price, I have seen other cheaper splitters that members bring up on here that I wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole.......
Good job Woody......

I've been using mine for a few years now and I haven't had any problems, knock on wood. There a few videos of them on You Tube also. And here is the store page on them.

Splits rounds up to 24" in length, has a 14 second cycle time. It has a LTC 6.5 hp engine with a two year warranty on the engine and a one year on the rest of the splitter. Some assembly required. I put mine together in about an hour and I found help to lift the heavy cylinder onto the base.

Wow that seems cheap. Had I not just spent nearly $200 on two new splitting axes I'd probably jump on that. Dangit. I like splitting by hand but I'm not a very big guy and tend to struggle with the bigger rounds. Also a Menards about 1mile out of my way on my trip from work to home and its in stock...

http://www.lctusa.com/page.cfm?sp=thumbs&sort=dis&sv=208 I have a Husky snowblower with the 414cc LCT engine and I am impressed so far. It seems like the internals are all heavy duty.... Great deal on the splitter!
Well I checked it out last night but passed. Was very tempted. But besides the big pile of rounds I have sitting outside now I don't know when I'd be splitting again unless I buy some woods. Which I'm looking to do but if I'm going to buy woods I need to be saving money not spending it. 
I've got a new splitting axe to try out so that is probably what swayed me. But still worried about all the bigger rounds.

Ram, I agree, what you said.
I hard to see, does it go vertical? When I need to turn mine vertical, it's the time you really need a splitter.
Ohio, it's just not your time. It will come.
