I have been driving past a certian house since I bought my home. I have eyeing something sitting in the corner of the yard. Man could I ever use this 'thing'. Well today I stopped, an older gentelam comes out of the house, I introduce myself and we shake hands. We chit chat for a bit as I tell him that I work for the county and LOVE to fish for brookies. I work the conversation to the 'Thing' and ask about the 'Thing'. He tells me it as been sitting for 5 years and hasnt been moved since the 'Thing' got tucked away. I asked if anything was wrong with the 'Thing', he nope but the 'Thing' is old but almost like new. Well I tell the gentleman I woul dgive him 200 dollars for it. Then we chit chat some more about the weather and fishing for brookies ( great info and new spots to try), he shows me some pictures of the fish he has caught over the years. Then he looks at me and says "I have heard about you, seems Johnny thinks you are a good kid.". I turn the talk back to the 'Thing' again and he says 200 dollars is way to much, and 125 dollars sounds better to him, I sat "dea;" and we shake and I hand him 125 dollars. After the 'Thing' is loaded he tells me to check it over very wel before I use the 'Thing". Well I take the 'Thing' home get it unloaded and give it the once over. It's perfect just what I needed to. After I got the 'Thing' set up and used for just about 20 minutes I could not be happier! This is what the 'Thing' is.
I changed the oil and checked the hydralic oil, added gas then pulled the rewind 1 time, away we go. Wood splitting will be so much easier now

As much as I enjoy splitting by hand, you really can't beat a hydraulic splitter. I find a whole new class of enjoyment using mine. ;D
