Bought a new 24 ton splitter from F&F two years ago when it was on sale for a little over $1K. Stove will take 26 inch length logs so splitting is tougher than only processing smaller length stuff. I've had several logs that it wouldn't go thru and had to reposition. A 26 to 28 ton machine would be nice but typically one that big isn't on sale. A 30 ton unit would be great. Wouldn't consider anything less than 18-20 tons and then only if processing shorter relatively uniform wood with none or few knots. I've used home built units and also rented several machines thru the years and experience shows that bigger is better. Most of the home built units used salvaged parts that were OK but not particularly well matched for the application. This affected performance and when I again needed a splitter and priced new components rather than go cheap and use spare parts to scab something together, determined it was nearly as cheap to buy a new one and avoid the extra work.
