Our new Split-Fire 2265 showed up today and I could not be more delighted with the product. I was expecting to have to do quite a bit of assembly, but it came fully assembled. Okay, I thought, I’ll just run into the city and grab some hydraulic oil and engine oil. After checking, I was pleased to learn the machine was fully ready go to – just add gas!! I gave it a warm welcome with a tank full of four-stroke Aspen fuel 😉.
Tested the machine out and am beyond ecstatic with how it works. Amazing torque even at low RPMs which keeps noise levels down; fast cycle time; generous log table to minimize handling; a real pleasure to operate!
It turns out buying Canadian-made pays off. So incredibly happy that I did not go with a big-box option.
Thank you for this wonderful product. I often say “Old sayings become old for a reason!” Turns out “You get what you pay for!”
Included a few pictures; this is not where we usually split! I was considering an electric splitter to keep the noise down in our semi-residential area, but have no concerns whatsoever about our splitter – the Honda engine is nice and quiet, makes way less noise than our lawnmower or pressure washer.
