That was a bit different as Watts could be quoted in Music Power, Peak to Peak and RMS, RMS was the real indicator but some manufacturers had been known to play with the figures, another example from many years ago, Daihatsu Charade, nasty little 3 cylinder car that was awarded 'Best in its class', it was the only one in its class, nonetheless Daihatsu milked this to the max.Sort of like stereo equipment in the 70s...some WT Grant stereo with built-in 8 track that's "1000 watts" when it really might be 5% of that at best.
The County Line one the OP is talking about will pivot to a vertical splitter for those so you don't have to lift them.If I were to start splitting/burning firewood again. I'd be looking at the Timber Wolf splitters. I'm prejudice - I've seen one at work and it's what I would need. Especially the log lift and the split catch table. My trees are enormous, ancient Ponderosa pines. 30" to 38" on the butt. It's hard enough just rolling a round over to the splitter. Then man-handle it up onto the splitter beam.
The Craftsman 20" push mower a neighbor gave me 17 years ago has one, I don't how long he had it, probably at least 5 years.When and why did small engines start having that priming bulb? It never used to be there and for a healthy engine, they always started.
My 4-way is hydraulic. Lift for 4, lower for 2. I love it Speeds up splitting a load immeasurably.Not sure I'd want a 4-way wedge. Yeah it might be a little quicker on some pieces, but not every piece needs to be quartered, and some larger ones need more. Seems like it might be more trouble than it's worth unless everything is within a certain diameter range.
