I like that half-beam style. Definitely easier to muscle around than full beam models. I think that style will eventually displace full beam models in the market.

There is a valid reason they call that big headed manual tool a spitting maul. Generally speaking, with my pine - I would just "MAUL" the wood. First year - that's all I had. Then I got the hydraulic splitter.
Only thing good that came out of the first year. By spring time we had cleaned up all the dead limbs, twigs, etc on the entire 80 acres and burned it in the wood stove.

I never could split worth beans using a maul. If I didn't manage to split the piece first time (usually not) it would often get stuck or bounce off or otherwise not get the job done. Before I got a splitter I'd use wedges and a sledge.
Maybe it's just the camera angle, but it looks quite small. What length piece will it take?

Manual says 22.5 inch in length and 14 inch diameter. The load that I processed was 16 inch length and up to 20 inch diameter
