Good afternoon. I've been researching log splitters for the last several months. I am active duty Air Force and stationed out in CA. Prior to this we lived in the Midwest and heated our home primarily with wood. I had a hydraulic "cub cadet" splitter that worked good but was slow. Anyhow we are trying to move back to the mid-west as soon as possible so in the mean time I have been researching and planning. My question is, what is the advantage of the "special edition" Super Split over the HD one? Besides the larger 9 hp engine of course? Is it built heavier duty, split larger rounds... Ect? Anyhow considering that all of my spare time hobbies (I.e farming, splitting wood, building, fabricating, and anything else outdoorsy) are non existent here in Northern CA I've been thinking about building a hydraulic splitter for fun. I've read so many good reviews of the SS that I'm considering scrapping the idea of building a hydraulic one and just ordering a SS Special Edition when we move back.
