1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Troy Bilt Product!!, December 2, 2011

This review is from: Troy-Bilt Hydraulic Log Splitter 160cc Honda Engine #24BF572B766

I purchased the log splitter at Lowes in July 2010 and used it sparingly (approx. 1 cord of wood) that winter. When I tried to use it again this summer it would not start. After a complete run around by Lowes, I brought it in for servicing that was supposed to take 1 week. After another run around from Lowes it was finally returned 5 weeks later!! I was told it only needed a tune-up which I found odd since I did everything the manufacturer required for long term storage (approx 3 months between usage). They had broken the hitch which is extremely flimsy so Lowes agreed to deliver it and replace the hitch. When I finally received the splitter (no hitch was included) I used it to split less than 1/4 of a cord of wood and it stopped working and refused to start again!! When I called to complain they were very condescending as though I were a problem customer for complaining that my us$1,400 splitter wasn't working. Lowes told me that they have a 30-day return policy and basically it was now my problem - Troy Bilt was even worse. The supervisor basically told me "tough break" since I was over the 1 year warranty despite using it to split less than 1 1/2 cords. Do Not buy this product and do not buy this product from Lowes - because neither Troy Bilt nor Lowes stands behind their product!

Works great. With any two cycle engine, you need to add "Stabil" to your gas if you are going to use it sparingly. Especially with the ethanol that is in our gasoline these days. The carburetor will gum up if you don't use the additive.
