I bought a DHT 22 ton a few days ago and I am very impressed with the build and operation of this machine. This is my first splitter but it seemed like the best on the market. I looked at a few others and decided that this one was built better. The fully boxed tung and frame will hold up to those stray pieces of wood that get away from you. With the splitting maul moving away from the engine makes it easier to protect the componets. I ordered the log catcher and I think it will help protect the hyd filler tube and eng. I put this 22 ton through some 36 inch hickory with limbs and knots in it today. Not a problem. That's about as big as I want to fool with so I am very happy with the 22 ton. The 27 ton looked exactly the same except the cylinder was a little larger and the cycle time was 4 sec slower. (That's a big deal for me) I put up a cord in 1/4 the time it took me before with the Fiskers. Here are a few pics of the easy oak (notice the grain on some of the splits I have there) it didn't skip a beat. I don't have any pics of the hickory but same thing it barely slowed down through the knots and limbs on the hickory. I had no chance of splitting that hickory by hand.....I tried.
