Not sure about the dual speed as not sure what the single speed is! cutting large diameter wood it returns before I can cut another block so that's good and changing chain to sharpen, I've found easier to sharpen chain in workshop! I bought 3 chains with machine only takes 5 mins to change and 1 chain can last a whole day but I often put a sharpened chain when I stop at lunchtime.

For the money you cant go wrong I bought the semi-automatic, duel speed with oil cooler and hydraulic blade lift and an 8-way knife and was about £13500 plus vat this included a large log deck there are a few issues that they need to address but only when cutting logs 550mm long and 18" diameter I have upto now cut and split mainly oak and the knife isn't beefy enough I would recommend the 6 way knife as the splitter is extremly powerful 25t and the 8way knife flex's A Lot! but only on long and large diameter blocks. For smaller blocks it's very good for the money for a well-known splitter you could be paying £10-15,000 more for the equivalent machine & deck I've just bought a posch logfix S firewood cleaner Ive not set it up yet but should take out a lot of small wood & bark I live in Herefordshire you're more than welcome to come and play with my trak -Met machine my mobile if you wanted to ask any questions is 07990806038.
