    This thing cycles sooooo much faster than the old 30 year one I was borrowing from the uncle. Made pretty quick work of some standing dead pine, oak, beech and cherry. Getting going early on next year

    Aaagh it's all mixed together! Just kidding...maybe. That's a really good splitter.

    I'll bet you like that Kohler engine too. That is a nice looking splitter.

    Nice!

    One thing I had to discipline myself when I first got the splitter, was to keep from splitting the chunks too small! Just got carried away, I guess.

    I have the same splitter and went through about two cords today. It works great, sometimes I wish it was faster like a kinetic, but I love that it goes vertical when I need to do a huge round. I welded a simple log catcher tack that bolts on via stock attachment points. Good splits!

    so true. When your favorite tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

    I also bought this exact splitter a few months ago! I bought the bolt-on table for it and that is a lifesaver. When you
    split a large round, the one half doesn't fall on the ground it's on the table so you don't have to pick it up off the ground!
    Saves lots of wear & tear on my soon to be 67 year old back:) I've split around 6 cords with it so far and it has handled
    everything I've thrown at it.
