[AT] OT- hour meter

[Mike M]

Hi Dick,
I too looked around and found the best value to be the ones carried by TSC under the Huskee badge, mines a 22 ton unit. They are made by Speeco, as opposed to the ones at Lowes, HD, Etc that are made by MTD. When I was doing my research I came across some people having problems with ones from Lowes sold under the Troy Bilt (MTD) name. It seems that the supports for the hydraulic ram are welded directly to the cylinder housing and tend to fail over time. There's no way for that to happen with the Speeco unit. I looked for used ones as well, but found diddley squat. I just brought mine home on Tuesday, and haven't even had a chance to fire it up yet, but people seem to like it. Mine was $1049 and that was only because I diddled around for a few weeks, they were $999 (doh!) Oh, and they have a 3 year warranty.

Mike, I don't have an answer for you but am curious as to what
type/brand of splitter you bought. Looking for one myself.

Thanks

Dick
