Overview
This is a Q&A response to a viewer wrestling with one specific decision: whether to buy a PTO-driven log splitter or another gas-engine machine. Mike directly addresses the concern about adding hours to a diesel engine, explains why he personally avoids gas-engine attachments due to fuel/carburetor problems, and offers a quick perspective on diesel longevity. Short and opinion-based; best for hobby farmers weighing the same tradeoff.
