Jack,
1) Brave uses a beam in beam design. The internal beam is pushed out away from the tractor as the cylinder is actuated. This allows for a much shorter length splitter and still gives you the full 24" log length capacity.
2) The warranty is pretty standard. It's 2 years parts and labor covering defects in material and workmanship. I included a link below. The warranty is covered at the end of the owners manual.
3) This splitter is made in Minnesota and parts are stocked by the manufacturer.
4) The 100lbs log weight limit is just an industry standard. Logs may exceed 100lbs without a problem.
5) This 20 ton splitter will split 16" diameter logs. You can try to avoid splitting directly through a knot but I know sometimes that is unavoidable.
6) Here is a list of our vertical/horizontal 3-point log splitters under $1,500.
