Processor question - Range Road?

[Gregory Mills]

Hello.  I'm in Northern Ontario, Canada.  Purchased the range road 300 last summer.  We are off grid and heat with wood, with LPG backup assist for -30 c  weather (C and F meet at -40) .  The 14hp Kohler has proven to be dependable and runs well in winter temps.  warmup of the hydraulics is a must, but as it is in any hydraulic equipment.  our primary species of wood is birch, as well as tamarack.  have never had an issue with the 4 way splitter force that has required 2 attempts.  largest logs would be 14-16".  conveyor works well, and is easy to adjust tension and tracking.  the two infeed hydraulic rollers are on a flimsy frame, but can easily be assisted by adding a couple of 2x4s, to make a better support frame for it.  it's important to either have some mechanical inclination as there are a few adjustments required as the machine wears in.  i currently have only 30 hours on the machine, but have processed estimated 20-30 face cords of wood.  for the price the unit is fair.  missing a hydraulic filtering system, however can be installed afterwards.  i also purchased the new hydraulic saw bar feed, vs the manual pull down lever.  easily adjustable for speed of cut.  i'd recommend that as an option.  towing on its own, it has no suspension.  solid mount axles.  i have towed it 2 hours to get it to my property but dont have any plans to be transporting on the highway.  i'm a faithful Honda believer, and for the extra i would have purchased the Honda, however the lead time was an issue.  
as someone posted, a quality log splitter is going to run 2-3k,  and all done with taxes, i was at 11,400 Canadian $  our dollar avgs 75 cents to the US$ .

all to say, i would recommend the unit, providing you are somewhat able to make some adjustments and that there is a lot of valuable info on the web.  I'm in the market this spring for a sawmill, currently have a very small 5.0 honda powered ross bandmill, which has had a lot of use, but i'm limited to 9' long lumber.  with the age and price of steel to extend the track, it's more logical to move to a newer unit capable of min. 12' length lumber.  i dont necessarily plan to go with Range road, there look to be other options that are of better quality.    hope the feedback helps anyone in this processor market.
