I burn a good bit of wood and it handles many nasty and large logs. For the few that it didn't I still had my back breaking handy maul. This was the first year I have used it so hopefully I get several more seasons use. I purchased the discontinued 6 ton from DR and for the price I am quite happy with it.

Dr 5 ton or the Swift Split by Mantis. I need a little help outside of the axe & maul! I am a Long Island NY resident that splits wood now in the driveway. I prefer pumping up the wood stove to heat the house than the gas company. I'd like to know if anyone out there has either of these units and how they feel about them. DR is a horizontal unit vs. the Mantis vertical. My back is not sure which one will be best. Pro's and Con's will be appreciated.
