ready to order parts for splitter, please review for specs.

Alright, i have decided to build my own splitter after much research and tire kicking.
Here is what i have figured.

View Shopping Cart | Northern Tool + Equipment

i know i need hoses, fittings and a few misc parts, but does this look about right as far as specs?
I did consider a 200cc Honda and a 16gpm pump, is it worth it?

Thanks for looking this over before i pull the trigger on the parts.
I will keep you updated on the build.
Thanks!

For a couple of hundred more, you can buy a splitter.

Yeah, i know. I am not too impressed with the splitters in this price range. I looked at the TB 27 ton at Lowes yesterday. Not very well built IMHO.

build your own, man. you'll be happier and prouder with it.

looks like you're off to a good start.

speaking of starting, does that engine have an electric start?

Yep, the 16gpm pump is worth it, with bigger motor.

No this model engine is pull start, but the Hondas if maintained start on the first pull.

Stay away from the GC series... get the good old GX metal housed engines.

Also consider the Harbor Freight Greyhound engine... people left and right are praising them. Starts first or second pull in -20 degree weather. Can't beat that.
