5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice machine, March 13, 2004

By	Richard Jones (Los Gatos, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I rent a log splitter every year and then HUSTLE to get all the wood split in two days. By the end of those two days, everybody is pretty sore and beat up. I finally decided to get my own so I can split wood at my own pace. This machine is well designed and easy to use. The Honda engine is quiet and started on the very first pull! I split some large oak and while it does slow down on the hard stuff, it doesn't stop. The ram and wedge seem very durable. I don't think this splitter is designed to run for several hours on end. For that kind of use, the next size splitter is probably better. But, who wants to split wood for several hours on end anyway? This is a great deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased, April 18, 2004

Unit started on first pull and has done so every time since.I chose FREE shipping method of delivery. Only took 10 days. I was expecting to wait a month or better. I have split about 2 cords of wood so far, some hard wood but mostly pine. It has plenty of power for my needs. Even split a few tree rounds 40 inches in diameter with no trouble but that was (easy to split) pine.

5.0 out of 5 stars 27 Ton Troy Bilt just right , October 12, 2005

By	Rob F. (South Pasadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I researched as many log splitters as I could before deciding on the 27 ton Troy Bilt. I recommend it highly because:
The price was right - a quality US built machine with a reliable Honda engine and no tax and 10 dollar shipping.
Best size for me - I thought I might have wanted the 33 ton model, but after using it for several months the smaller one is plenty strong as I am splitting 16 to 20 inch long logs in diameters up to 2 feet!. It slows down a little bit on hardwood and twisted grains, but it ends up doing the job in the end.
Easy to move around - its small enough and light enough for me to move around easily and it hitches to my truck without problems. I like that it comes with tail lights. Others I compared did not have tail lights.
Good design - I rented a 30 ton machine before buying the Troy Bilt and I'm happier with the Troy Bilt for both upright and horizontal splitting.
US Made - I know I'll have fewer problems over time with this model as opposed to the cheaper Chinese models I considered.These Troy Bilts have been around for a while and they'll stay around!
Delivered to my door - having the splitter come straight to my door was great! It was delayed a little bit because the third party shipper didn't have my phone number, but I called them and arranged next day delivery. They left it on the curb and I assembled it there on the street and towed it around to my back yard. Very easy to assemble. The manual is clear to follow.
This is a great size for me who will split for myself, and two other family members. I've split enough in 15-20 hours to last me well into next burning season.
I'll use the splitter regularly without the hassle of going to the rental yard and paying 100 dollars a day to use.
