The super split is in my plans for a year or 2. I first saw one in action at Sawlex in WV a few years ago. Then this year I saw one that is enhanced by Logrite into a basic firewood processor. I plan on getting the basic one. far faster, especially on making wrist sized pieces for the evaporator. If you study it, they should last a long time. Nothing light wt nor poorly designed. I would think one would last longer than any hydraulic unit and they run on far less gas.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
