CountyLine 25 ton splitter, review and upgrade.

I'm pleased overall with my CountyLine 25 ton splitter. In this video I talk about some of the things I like and some I'm not so thrilled about. In addition, I go over a couple of modifications I made to improve it.

Great job, you've not only modified it beautifully it's functional and looks like it's factory created.👍🏾

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 KZbinr. 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.

Why not just put a second log table bolted to the other one?
