It never ceases to amaze me how powerful hydraulics are, especially when you look at how they actually work, and how little effort is required on the part of the engine to exert massive force on the other end. Take for example his simple wood splitter that probably has a 5-10 hp lawn mower engine on it. It probably exerts somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 tons of force via the piston. Amazing.

Andrew- I built my skidsteer splitter almost 20years back...dont be afraid to move your machine to line up pices for "straighter cuts" I find the best results standing the slices on edge and cuttin with the grain. I also find that the time to cut the pieces into even smaller is quicker for me with the machine than doing a seperate step with the smaller splitter..... I burned with an outdoor wood boiler so I didnot make every piece as small as you would for an regular stove but I did make a lot of smaller pieces that are easier on the ole back :P I love the double acting cutter on your splitter though. I see as the video goes you are gett ing the hang of it! You will wonder why you took so long to buy one!

I also have a Atom splitter auger bit for my Kubota'miniexcavator...works excellent, however it's very slow and won't split certain types of wood depending on the grain of the wood...
