Bought it online and shipped it to the store to save 10%. Tractor Supply tacked on a $199.99 shipping charge. Add in Allegheny County sales tax and my savings disappeared. I picked it up in the crate and assembled it myself. Assembly took about 2 hours and is pretty straightforward. Be sure to drain the oil prior to adding oil, mine had some gunk in it. I didn't use a stopwatch but the cycle time is close enough to 6 seconds. Very strong and very fast splitter. It blew though some smaller oak rounds I had laying around. I really wish it had 24" of splitting length but then it wouldn't be as fast. It's well built and I foresee it lasting a long time. Nice warranty as well.
