The Tractor Supply Company has a sale on. Seven hundred bucks off the 22 ton log splitter. Regular price sixteen hundred, now on for nine hundred, best price of the year, according to their flyer.
Regular readers will know that I far prefer to split the firewood with the ten-pound maul. But as much as I love the aesthetic of splitting wood by hand, I have to admit there's a pretty big pile of set-aside stuff in the woodshed that I couldn't do the old-school way.
The price doesn't seem too bad. The $700 off doesn't impress me that much. TSC runs a special on this unit every couple of months for $500 off. I'm pretty sure nobody ever bought one at the "regular" price. But at the best price of the year? I'm not sure I could build one for that.
Let's see: couple of hundred for the hydraulic cylinder. Two or three hundred for the 6.5 motor. Easily another couple hundred for various hoses and fittings. The wheels and the coupler will add up to another couple hundred. The steel for the backbone and the axle? We're over a thousand bucks and we haven't put the thing together yet.
I'm thinking Falling Downs is getting a wood-splitter.
