It was hard to justify the price, but with the 4 way wedge and someone feeding it, wood is done is no time and doesn't even feel like a chore.
    I’m reading up on them and the model 11 is the 11 horse I’m interested in. What I have been reading and watching videos on i can get a 48” stroke, up to a 10 way wedge with a Diesel engine. If you don’t mind me asking what did you pay for your splitter? There are no prices on the website.

    I actually based my homemade model off of the American splitter. Grew up with one in my family and always thought they were perfect for heavy homeowner use. You can step up into a more commercial line of splitters but it’s hard to justify the price tag when you get into more of split for money type splitter
