thinkxingu said:jlove, that looks nice and all BUT for $1800 you could buy two Huskee 22-ton machines. For that money, Iron and Oak should throw in a little garden gnome to scoot around picking up bark and other debris!

thinkxingu said:Really, 12 vs. 14 seconds? Don't forget, that's only for the complete throw--if you did half that on a regular basis (reality) than you're looking at 1 second difference. Not sure that's worth $800. BUT, I do understand about the 'get what you pay for'; just sayin'.

Not cheap by any means but a very tough impressive machine. Should last me the rest of my wood burning years.

I've never owned anything but Toyotas, so I guess my Huskee was the right choice.

Okay I will offer an analogy:
MTD = Chevy/Ford
Huskee/Speeco = Toyota/Honda/Nissan
Brave/Iron Oak= Lexus/Acura/Cadillac
Timberwolf = Maybach/Bentley and priced like one

It's appalling how you relegate American cars to lowest-quality status. I guess you haven't seen recent quality surveys, including JD Power, which rated Ford and Chevy over Toyota.
