I rented a splitter last year that spoiled me. I'll never even consider
hydraulics for splitting wood again.

The splitter was "Gripo" brand name. It used a rack driven by a pinion
on a shaft with a fairly substantial flywheel on it.


The Super Split is the same thing I think. Here is a diagram of how it
works.
