This is an amazing log splitter, u can go on youtube and put in unicorn log splitter and see them in action. This one has a 5Hp engine and works great It has a bar that goes with it that is inserted in the machine when you split to hold the wood. This little thing does the same work as a big boy using mechanical advantage instead of brute force. It is amazing and I am getting rid of it becuse I got rid of the wood burner for a pellet stove.
