I'd like to see the push blocks and wedges taller, so you can do 2 8" rounds at once. A lot of time, there isn't tremendous power needed to split wood, so doubling up would make it WAY faster.
Splits fresh cut hardwood fine. If it is real big I'll split it 2 ways, then each 1/4 four ways. If it's real hard the auto split can bounce back (retract). To prevent this just hold both levers forward until the wedge engages the log.
mine does exactly the same thing with the exception of the log lifter. It cost about 6,000 dollars less.

The Rayco LS2526 Log Splitter is way more heavier duty and better over all, but the TW-5 was my second choice.

Thats about what I paid. The log lift and log grate a add on options over the base price.

How does it do on wood that isn't rotten? Just curious.
