did you end up getting a splitter? I would like to take one of those kits and set it up like the HyCrack, but have the platform up at waist high level. All the vids show it down at knee level where it is stressful on your back and easy to loose your balance working with the wood and fall on the splitter. It seems to put a lot of people close to the moving parts where they can get tangled in it. If you're standing upright in a natural position accidents would be less likely.
