Was thinking of getting a new splitter a while ago. Mine worked fine, just didn't have all the things I wanted. So I decided to just fix the old one up. Replaced the hoses and moved the control valve so it was easier to reach from left side so I didn't have to stand next to the motor. Also built a couple log catchers/ racks and slapped some paint on it. Got about $75 invested.
