[QUOTE="Multifaceted, post: 6670894, member: 151649"] I'm not old, but I certainly am not young. Anytime I've used a hydro splitter I seem to do extra lifting, which just kills my mid and lower back. When I split with an axe, I split in a pile or on the ground topside end grain, or along the grain lengthwise, depending on how they lay. Very minimal handling. Most of the handling is stacking the splits instead of also moving logs into position to split. I handle the logs once -- throw them into a pile. On the other hand, if my shoulders ever start to go, then I'll really be in trouble for axe swinging... or anything swinging/heavy lifting. Would I use a power splitter if I had one? - Probably, yes. But I don't have one, and it's one less machine that I have to maintain. [/QUOTE]
