I have one. It's has a Briggs and Stratton engine and appears to be made very well. I have no complaints, and I've yet to find something that defeats it. The only issue I have is with the additional 4 way splitter attachment. It works fine, but if you let the ram go all the way back while its attached, it catches on the guards and ends up bending some of the metalwork. As I found out! The guys at Rock machinery warned me about this when I bought it. Seems like the guy who made the four way heads didn't plan for the guards! You could either do a bit of metal chopping (didn't want to do that on a new machine), or just be on the ball with stopping the ram on its return. I'm pleased with mine. And it's even better with two people operating it.

I was looking forward to the self assembly, which is an option, but after I'd prices up the 25 litres of hydraulic fluid and engine oil, I just ended up paying them £100 to build it up for me.

£1499.. Might get one myself going on feedback. 6.5 Kohler engine on the ones listed on eBay "2014 venom"

Not sure whether the Kohler engines were used prior to B&S. I've not had any experience with that engine, but the B&S starts and runs well, and barely uses any fuel. Go for it!!

there not far from you, give them a bell and go up and see one in action, they were operating out of a farm near lesmahagow last I knew

I used the Rapide version just before Christmas and with a cycle time of around 3 seconds it seems great but i just wonder how long the teeth on the rack will last?

[Bob The Dog]

I liked the look of the rapide version, but like the venom 22ton as it can be changed from horizontal to vertical for the really big logs that can't be lifted up top.
