As you can see from the picture, the Woods is one heavy duty machine. Even their lightest unit is still a far cry heavier duty than anything on the market. I have a Woods, M5 - Dixie Cutter that is over 25 years old and the only thing I've replaced is the blades. I've split enough rocks to build a fine-looking chimney and still the unit keeps on running. Most of it's life it has sat outdoors so the steel deck is beginning to look a little worse for wear, but it still can cut through anything, and I mean anything. My Dad has a King Kutter 5 ft that although is a fine machine, there is no comparison. The bent I-Beam side rail is a good idea, but the deck material is just too light and has suffered some major dents. I think most of us could get by with a King Kutter, but if you truly want a quality machine, go with the Woods.
