Auto-Cycle Dangerous?
I Think Auto cycle certinly increases the chances of injury, but also greatly increases productivity as well. For me Auto cycle is well worth it. The only time I have ever gotten close to someone getting hurt is when more than 1 person was trying to "feed" the splitter.

Yeah an auto cycle is well worth the money. I can't believe they would take it off because it is unsafe. I mean a splitter is pretty unsafe as it wether it have a auto cycle valve or not.

The lawyers strike again
I'll bet a box of doughnuts there is either a lawyer, or liability insurance company or both behind it. I doubt it was cost cutting as they would still have offered it as an optional upgrade.
Auto-cycle is the main reason I upgraded my TW-P1 to a TW-2HD last fall. Boy I'm really happy I pulled the trigger while it was available. When working alone, a longer cycle time with auto-cycle is still a faster operation than a quick splitter with standard valving.

legal teams stike another blow to common sense.
Lawyers taking another steptowards eradicating common sense in this country! The point of a log splitter is that the machine does the work for you...the more the machine does, the more you can get done in a day. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE my Fiskars. The only thing I love more is the auto cycle on the Timberwolf. If Im not holding a handle forward or backward Im getting the next log into position. That means I get more done when I need to get more done. Not less. If you are to dumb to keep vital parts out of pinch points, well then, you should expect to loose those parts. An old tree climber taught me a vital lesson once...Dont wrap the rope around any body part you aren't willing to live without. Same lesson applies here. T-wolf, dont give in!

Incredible. I'm sure it was an insurance and/or liability and/or splitter mfg. best practices sort of thing.
That said, this here lawyer is thinking about adding autocycle to his TW-P1.

Dlb dentation single handle valve
Isn't a double dentation single handle valve almost as fast at the automatic valve where you pull two handles. With this valve you pull for extend and let go push for retract and let go I just bought one on E-bay David

OK so your a big time woody.I get it.If you can drop 7k on a splitter you can order the valve you want from another source.Made sense to me.
