The most efficient way I have found is to have three people - 1) running controls and adjusting wood as it goes toward wedge 2) loading the log lift either putting on lift in the up position for small rounds or rolling over larger rounds 3) clearing the table as the wood splits - either stacking or tossing -just keeping the table cleared.
Mine has the auto cycle feature which is super nice when we only have 2 people to run it. I keep saying Im going to fab together a small conveyor to either load my dump trailer or transfer to wood shed
you will love that splitter ! change fluids and filters so you have a base line for maintenance and start splitting !
This is a picture of my daughter and son and the kid down the street splitting some wood - once they get in a groove they can knock out a lot of wood in a short time
