After a quarter-century of cutting wood with cheap saws and splitting logs by hand with a maul, I finally broke down last year and got the EXACT same splitter you have and stopped by my local Deere Dealer and picked up two Stihl chainsaws. A MS290 Farm Boss with a 20" bar for the heavy work and a MS192 for limbing.
The MS290 cuts faster than any saw I've ever used. The MS192 is so small and light it's a cinch to use with one hand. The splitter hasn't so much as burped no matter what I've thrown at it.
Now cutting wood is a pleasure, not a chore.
It changes everything when you get a splitter and a good saw. I have already split 5 cord or wood, that splitter hasnt skipped a beat. :thumbsup: I have another 3 still on the ground and several more trees that are coming down after the wood on the ground is all split.
