Splitters: Should You Buy OR Rent? 

Have never rented one, purchased one used many years ago and traded some work for another. On Wednesday I received a commercial log splitter that is so much fun the buying tears went away quickly!

Another video with good advice. Thanks Travis.

Good morning Travis! Getter done! 🌲👍

What a great topic. Before Wolfe Ridge arrived in my life, i had a few who wanted me to come over and split their firewood. I turned them all down as it wasn't worth my time or their cash in what i would be asking. So when it came up to the decision to go to a pro splitter that thought of renting it out did come into mind (but not full-time). I now do 5 splitting jobs a year, and you get your money worth for what the machine can do..😉👍

Great Video Travis. I think there is definitely people that would benefit from renting a splitter. Everyone's situation is different and just have to go judge it on your personal situation.

Thank you so much bro for subscribing I greatly appreciate that. Great videos Travis. Keep up the fantastic work bro

I rented for years because they company I worked for had a rental division and I could rent for almost nothing. But.... it's a huge pain in the ass because if you rent for a weekend you have to do nothing else all weekend except split wood. You can get much more done if you have your own available 24/7 and want to split for an hour or 2, it's amazing how much you can get done in an hour here and there. So yes renting makes more sense if your wood is ready and you can devote the time. If you want to be more leisurely, then for sure buy your own

Yo Travis! Great video! Renting a splitter I’m sure works for the weekend warrior that needs a splitter maybe 2-3 days a year. Keep on splitting!

I agree with all of it but I’m going to add to it. If you need to build a little credit get a 6 month interest free loan and split to pay it off. 5 cords at $325 per will do it. I love that the splitter is in my shed whenever it’s needed by family or myself. I bought a splitter to split 4 oaks I took down in my yard then discovered the therapeutic benefits of cutting and splitting. Now I split for healing my mind and making Christmas money for the family. Dropping trees is one thing I love but knowing they are not going to a dump makes it rewarding. Don’t forget that the wood you split warms you twice so it great exercise also. Fun show thanks

Good video. I think for a mechanically inclined person looking and buying a nice used splitter from Craigslist or market place may get you a splitter for the cost of a week or two rental alone. Keep the info coming lots of people appreciate it.

Volume of need is one factor,Second species needing split,Physical ability is a MAJOR factor . What also should be figured in is electric or gas,Gas requires maintence and storage,Electric splitters are small and slow but nice for all hour use. Another options is to group of friends or family all buy in and every one gets use and maintence is spread out.

I think the average homeowner burning wood could benefit from renting or borrowing a splitter. Most times home owners buy their wood already, split. A supplier would never rent or borrow unless it was absolutely necessary. That's the way it is around here.

It all depends on if you burn wood for the main source of heat or if your doing it every once in awhile. Me personally I burn 6-8 cords a year. Plus I sell 50-60 cords a year. So its easier to buy it

Amount and duration are the key. But there's a third option, hiring. I see a couple RU-vidrs do it. One in NC other here in NY.
