Thanks, I like the Kubota as it's small enough to get back in the woods to scrounge and drag out logs with out having to make a huge trail. The load is mostly Oak and Hickory with about a 1/4 cord of cherry.

Well I went out to split this morning and performed the usual walkaround while checking the hoses, filling the gas, and checking the oil however about 30 minutes into splitting I smelled something hot. I went over to check the engine and there was a big puddle of oil underneath of it. I shut it down then pulled the dipstick and the only thing in the oil pan was a bunch of smoke. I took it back to the garage and filled it back up with oil, cleaned it up, and started it. almost as soon as I started it the oil began pouring out of the crank shaft so I just shut it down and headed back to TSC. The manager was apologetic and quickly hooked a new one on the hitch for me. I was kind of perplexed as I have another Briggs and Stratton 6.75 hp engine that I have had for seven years and I have yet to have a problem with it. Hopefully it was just a fluke but time will tell.
