I would love one of these. Probably can't justify it. My current splitter is an old John Deere 3 point, and the beam is now bending due to too many cords of gnarly knotty juniper firewood.
I have been eagerly awaiting my 17-VS to show up so I can come get it! Maybe I'll get to meet the actor that plays Neil on the Messick's RU-vid channel.
I’d love a big box store splitter that would take some design cues from these beautiful machines. Their entry level models are still out of my budget for a splitter.
