Looking for recommendations for a 3-pt log splitter

[IXLR8]

For various reasons I have a strong preference for a 3pt log splitter, I had decided on the Timberwolf TW-3 with PTO pump. I went to order one today and was told they are no longer making them, not enough demand.
So what 3pt splitters do folks here recommend now that the TW-3 is no longer available?
The Split-Fire is off my list as I spent several weeks emailing them trying to get a straight answer out of them about a few of their features. All I got was evasive non answers so I don't want to deal with them.

That's too bad, they are a fantastic splitter!

I'd be looking all over for a used one!

I am. I know you are very happy with yours. But it seems they are so good, people don't want to give them up. The search has just begun. The wife is trying to convince me to just go to TSC and get one of their $1500 specials. I just don't like the ergonomics of them.

There's a TW3 and TW3HD, you really want the HD model.

Too bad on split fire, I've run a 3pt one for nearly 20 years with zero issues. I didn't have to contact the company, local dealer had them in stock and answers. What couldn't they answer?

I couldn't get a straight answer about their PTO pump, reservoir system and something else I can't remember now. It was 2 years ago and I don't have the emails anymore.
They have a good reputation and were high on my list, until they couldn't answer my questions. I also couldn't find a local dealer, by local I mean within 250 miles.

That's too bad they couldn't answer basics like the GPM and capacity.

Local sales and service are key. I did see a PTO pump 3pt model on my local dealer's lot 2-3 years ago.
