Will actually be faster than the hydraulic splitter, not including the time to go fetch one and return it either.
Agreed. A go-devil or an axe will split things a lot faster just keep working your way around the piece. I heat with wood and always start with my pole axe and only increase weight as necessary. Protect your body for the long haul. I sometimes think about it like hitting a baseball its about speed through the zone and precision not muscling up.
