I am looking for info on the ryobi electric splitter. How do the work for lite use 2-4 cords a year? Any info would be great
 
I have one- it is just what I need, and it's performance is just what I expected.. it is not the biggest, baddest splitter out there by far, but it saves me a lot of effort in swinging the maul-

Anything over 16" round I split by hand with an 8 lb maul, 4 lb Splitting axe or the wood grenade from TSC- then it goes to the splitter, where i work it down to burnable splits-
I wish it came with a foot pedal option, so that I didn't have to keep putting the beer down..
 
Depending where you live Grossman's bargin outlet is selling a 6 ton iron horse splitter for 50$ less than the ryobi

that's 50 % more power and one will notice the difference I have used them both..

It is my oppinion the Ryobi is the best 4ton splitter avaliable note 4 ton

Hey Elk:

Any chance of you picking one up and sending it to me??. Do they ship UPS or other method?. I have had it with trying to get the Northern Tool splitter here in one piece.
