Exceeded Expectations
Would RecommendExcellent for use even on a farm (though for home use not commercial use) - handles larger and harder wood than I expected.

Just right for us
Would RecommendWe heat with wood cut on our property in a wood stove in the house. It is so easy to just plug it in and stock up on split wood. We are in our 80s and appreciate not having to deal with gas.

Alaskan fly out splitter
Would RecommendSmall enough for a supercub; yet powerful enough to split any Alaskan timber!

Warranty issue & fabrication of the splitter
The splitter seemed to work ok. But after using it for an hour or so the tray that came with the stand came loose and shifted. Upon investigating why, I found that the welded nub (which has a thread in side of nub) on the splitter was angled higher then the frame screw hole. Because of this, the thread in the nub is stripped and tray will not stay tight. I filled out a warranty claim and its been over 3 weeks and have not heard from the company.

Great log splitter at good price.
Would RecommendGreat tool - works really well. I wish there was a single hand operation, it's hard to split unbalanced logs as I need two hands to engage the tool and then I have no hand to hold the unbalanced log.

It works
Would RecommendEasy to use and size. Wifes back can take swinging and axe to split some of our pieces into smaller chunks. Got this and it works great.

Great For My Needs (see review)
Would RecommendWorks faster than other reviewers say. I get quite a lot of wood split in less than an hour. I don't have a problem with the "one man/two hands operation. No problems with the 5hp. It cuts through split firewood (to make smaller pieces and kindling) like a knife through butter (careful around knots). Haven't had the need to cut through whole logs yet, but I don't think that will be a problem if done correctly. Big Plus = I use it indoors so I get to stay out of the cold. :)

Get the model with the stand!
Would RecommendSplits wood✅; wanted the model with the stand but it was out of stock. Low to the ground so if you have back problems think twice about the model you buy. I’ll need to build a work table to make this more comfortable to use.
