Yes had 1 about 8years ago
Pros
Nice simple machine
Sliding table was light to use instead of rocking
Easy to maintain
Cons
Worked the wrong way round(for me anyway)
Not the strongest build quality so needed a bit of strengthening in places (new version might have sorted this)
Not the strongest splitter but quick.
Guards were a pain to open in a log dropped in wrong.
I now have a palax which I think is better although like I said the new jappa might be a lot better than the version I had.

I started with a 700 and still have it,   has others have said its not that robust,  access to greasing points on the main drive is impossible unless the tractor is off the machine.    Changing the main drive belt set is also a bit of a nightmare.  But it does the job,  is as fast as anything else on 250mm and smaller timber.  Personally I found loading from the right easier,  but get the manual feed rack as well,  it speeds the job up given decent length timber.    Having bought a Posch splitter some years ago and seen the quality today I would look at the smaller Posch processors if funds allow.
