Finally a splitter!

[Tjcole50]

Finally spent the money after research. New dht 22 ton . Lowes price matched the country line on sale for 949$ plus 10% military and gift cards came out to not much out of pocket. Log table is on the mail

Not sure I got this picture upload figured out

Have you tried it vertical yet?

 

[Tjcole50]

Yea some of the large rounds I tipped it up and tested. Any specific questions? Really happy so far I ppurposely put some nasty elm ,hickory, and red oak crotchesm. It had zero issue plowing through. Glad I didn't spend the extra on the 27 which I'm sure is nice as well

Nice score!! Good decision on the log table also. What does it have for a motor?

Congrats! That's a nice looking unit there. I'm sure you will get hours and hours of use out of her.

Kohler 3000 series. Would rather have the command, honda,subaru . But at this price I'm sure it will be fine

That filter looks to be in a really bad spot?

Haven't had an issue it is on the back side of the reservoir. I think all the 22 tons are laid out similar could be wrong. I do like the 13 gpm pump 0n this one for an 11 sec cycle

I do notice some loud vibrating noise from parts when in vertical position ... I was looking at it today and I think I can remove some bolts and add some plastic or rubber washers to dampen down the ringing

Congrats on your new splitter. Having my own splitter allowed me to enjoy my splitting/processing much more as I could do everything on my schedule.

Thank you for your service also.

Mike.

Pretty much my main goal. Being able to do things on my schedule is worth every penny. I hate borrowing equipment or tools. Hell renting one is 75-100$ a day here.. never paid that but for some it's another reason to buy your own

I have a DHT 27 ton love it got it at Menards for $899 plus tax

 

[Tjcole50]

Black friday? Wish I could have jumped on that. Amazing deal
From what I could tell the 22 and 27 had exact same parts layout except for cylinder size but I didn't study them exactly

 

[hamlet704]

clearance sale 2 weeks ago went to look at another brand they had in there weekly flyer for $799. It was 22 ton this one was sitting next to it. The DHT was normal $1298
