Not wood but a cool scrounge while wandering around in the woods at the farm.

Does anyone use their log splitter in 10-20 *F weather? We've got a cold week coming up and if I don't get out and do something at least once a week, I'll go bonkers. I have a dozen rounds on my driveway that need to be split so I could manage being outside a little to get it done.
Reason I'm asking, I thought at one time I had locked up an engine because the oil was too thick to do its job when I used my splitter in cold weather once. Also, can the hydraulic oil get too thick for the pump?

Yes they can be ran. What weight oil is in there right now?
That wood will split a whole lot easier when it's frozen solid. Use your Fiskars for a better workout, otherwise put a heater under the splitter for an hour.

Can’t wait to run the 620p in some wood this weekend to compare to my old 262xp and see what old vs new feels like.
Replaced a cracked fuel line, reset the gap on the plug, and cleaned the coil/flywheel. Starts right up!
Shoulder problems. I don't split with a maul any more.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
As long as you get it started and let it warm up you should be fine to run it.
Too bad about the shoulder. I was going to agree that in cold weather splitting by hand will both keep you warm and be easier to split the frozen wood.
That said, Panolo's advice is spot on.

That wasn't too bad of a fix.
Curious which you like better, you may make some 262 fans upset if you say the echo lol.
Any way to get some videos of them both cutting.
I run mine in the teens without to much problem. 10w30 synthetic in the motor and AW46 for the hydro. I let it warm up a few minutes and the cycle it a few times before actual splitting.
Agree on that. Especially to cycle it and get the hydro parts loosened up.
With a little extra prep time, and the right gloves, I run my splitter down to about 10°. Below 10°, I usually just burn some of that split and plan my next effort:
What weight oil ya run in that thing Jere.
Glad we haven't seen 10* this year so far.
