Son in law has a 27 ton MTD. I borrow it once or twice a year to bust up the 15 or so face cord of wood I use for heat.
It works great! It easily splits the gnarliest wood I put on it. It can be set to work both horizontally and vertically (vertical is nice for reducing big rounds).
5-1/2 HP Honda engine has more than enough power (never bogs down) and is relatively quiet. It also starts on a single pull in even the coldest weather.
The splitter tows well at low speeds (under 45 mph). However for towing faster or for towing more than a few miles it's easier to ramp it into the back of my truck (it tends to bounce at speeds over 50 or so).
Only problem has been a failed weld holding the end plate to the main beam. But a welder buddy rewelded/reinforced the endplate; it now stronger than new.
