One thing I will say about the huskee 22 is, the one hydraulic line running from the pump through the axle, there is a grommet around where the hose goes through the axle that will wear out with the hose moving on its own from pump pressure and /or switching from splitting horizontal to vertical and vice versa, causing the hose to rub against the metal. I strongly suggest wrapping that part of the hydraulic line with duct or electrical tape. Other than checking for tightness and keeping a spare spark plug handy, it will blow through cords of wood. Oh, 1 more thing... If splitting horizontally, watch wood being dropped on the tires. They will puncture. Post pics when u can. Be well
Edit..... pine we use for shoulder season and kindlin, but not before it is css for a year. Great for the firepit too....
WS, can't you tie that line off to keep it from rubbing?
