I'm opposite to the Plumber..
I split horizontal all the time and also split by myself.
My splitter is a 3 point hitch set up on the Kubota. I keep it set at waist level and find it very efficient.
Almost always horizontal for me. I save my back by loading the beam from the tractor's FEL or the back of a pickup truck.
A few times I've had it horizontal to split some large rounds I didn't want to noodle.
Tell me you don't like to tear into a big round with that 6401 every once in a while...
Vertical 100%, sit on a billet.
Vertical nearly 100% of the time.
I split by myself a lot. It seems to be easier on my person and faster.
