Nice little refresh on the tractor! Put some black header paint on that exhaust. It will really polish off the job. Also, didn’t realize you had less than 1k subs. You deserve more, good commentary, solid camera work, relaxing content.

The Kioti is running well. Unfortunately this time of year the only time I get to run it is pulling it out of the garage so I can make room for other projects. I think I have 110 hours on it.

Nice review. I've looked at this splitter but they are now nearly $1,600. I might consider a good used one. Just a thought on your guards - could you do some type of quick-disconnect so you can remove the guards for moving/maintenance/starting the engine. Use some pins or wing nuts, etc?
@thethriftysuburbanite5251
@thethriftysuburbanite5251 15 күн бұрын
The guards aren't really a problem for moving etc.. And starting/stopping the engine just entails a little longer reach. I had considered using something more easily removed, but in the end decided to go all out and just try to protect the engine and pump. It paid off for me last winter when a 100lb chunk of wet oak simply bounced off the guard over the pump. I wouldn't pay $1600. for this machine. Keep your eye out for a used unit. Now is a good time to be looking for a used one . Thanks for the comment!

I have had this machine for 4 years. It has worked well, but has a couple of achilles heels. The hood and wing nut over the carb allows water to get in if the splitter is not covered. The other is the leanness of the engine. I have flooded it too many times using normal starting procedures. My remedy was borrowed from another KZfaqr. I don't shut the engine off with the on/off switch when I am done splitting. I shut off the fuel valve and let it run out of fuel. To start I turn off the on/off switch and pull the start handle 3 to 3 times to prime the carb. Set the accelerator to half, set the choke on full, turn on the on/off switch, and boom it starts every time. I use fuel conditioners religiously with this splitter. The engine is very finnicky. TLC for sure. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for watching! My engine runs lean also. In fact, the first splitter I bought ran so bad I took it back and got my current splitter. I have a comparable Harbor Freight engine I'll put on it someday. It runs fine. I'll most likely put the Kohler engine on a rototiller I only use a few times a year.

Nice video thank you fellow New Jerseyan. I have a fairly old standard fireplace insert with fans. Supposed to be heatalator. But it doesn't have dual burning or catalytic combuster etc. I go through a lot of wood in a day. Each load will only last about an 1 hour or 2 depending on how much wood it is. I am now interested in these high efficiency units. I believe your model of the insert is one of the top of the line models. They are getting really expensive.

Hi, we have a large fireplace, takes a 30" piece of wood and once lit, it rarely goes out so it's a hungry beast. We have two new cats, one seems to have an issue with the residuals from open burning so, considering a fireplace insert and Montlake is at the top of the list. The wife really doesn't like the thought of loosing the open viewing of the fireplace. Do you have anything else to add other than you really like the insert? Thank you Eric

Thanks for the comment. If you have room for the larger model....300? I believe, I would consider that. I didn't have the room in my fireplace and find that on colder nights I have to keep mine burning at max to keep our poorly insulated home warm. Some of my firebricks will need replacing at the end of the season, and the "baffle" over the air tubes will also need replacement. We burn nightly from November to March. There have been no issues with the quality of the stove.

That won't last. The mounting hardware is not even close to being up to the 2520s capabilities. Take a look at a plow made for a sub-compact. Totally diff from one made for an atv/utc.
