Am I splitting hairs on this one?
Bought a CountyLine 25 Ton splitter.
1 hour into use, the stop bent while it was stopping a log.
I ran my last splitter 15 years and never had a problem. Only bought a new one because the engine quit on the old one.
It is not bent but a 1/2 inch at the top of it.
It it wasn't brand new I would just live with it. But it is brand new and it frustrates me.
Would you live with it or file a warranty claim?
