    Curious if anyone has used an electric wood splitter in below freezing weather. I think the manual advised against it, but wondering why? We're way behind our processing, so it's gotta happen regardless of the weather. what do others do?

    I have a small 5 hp electric splitter that I have used when below 32 f. No problems. Now if below zero maybe not.
