Makes you wonder how hp and horses are related. They should probably have chosen another name.

Looks like a super split, minus the motor. Not so hard to shut down. The pto shaft is spinning a flywheel. The rack that drives the ram is not engaged to the pinion driven by the flywheel unless you hit the engagement lever

I wonder if that one is in their catalogue? I suppose that would be an extra market for them if the machine was sanctioned Amish friendly. Does anyone know if there is an umbrella agency/church group that would do that or is it on a church/area by area basis?

I touched base with SuperSplit. Their comment was "It is one of ours. He doesn't buy a lot from us but a few per year."

I wonder if Logrite will be offering one of their "firewoodinators" based on this 1 HP splitter?
