[AT] OT- hour meter

[Dick Day]

I would have been surprised to hear otherwise :)   Glad it's working for 
you.

I would really love to get an electric one for the few times a year I will 
use it.  I am trying to reduce the number of internal combustion engines on 
the place.  When I need power, I can roll my Generac generator into the 
loader bucket and head into the woods with my electric chain saw.

You enjoy your new splitter and count the fingers before and after each use 
:)

Dick
