Burning Hunk
Ariens are great splitters but out of your price range most likely. The Subaru Robin engine is awesome.
I got a troy built 27 ton with a Honda gx engine for under a grand (I think 850 on clearance) it's been great.
Most of these all have the same or similar components, which are easily replaceable.
I found used splitters are selling for 700 bucks so I just bought new.
Good luck let us know how you make out
