Why a log splitter? Why not put whole logs in, and infill (or

Maybe the OPs supply of logs are a bit "raw". It needs to be a big
grate to get a 2' diameter 10' long log into. Most of the logs that
the local log supplier has in his yard, awaiting processing, are about
that size...

I use a proper splitting axe (or maul as previosly posted) on the
larger processed lumps from above supllier. One whack and all but the
toughest succumbs. Very statisfying and a damn site quicker and
probably less effort than manually operating a hydraulic pump.
