Splitter Height

[Bocephous]

I suspect if one was cheap and wanted the splitter to be up higher they could probably use some car ramps/planking.

This is what I did.

Although we have a horizontal/vertical, I much prefer the 3 pt hitch vertical unit. Set the foot on the ground to break down the large rounds, then hit the lever to pick it up to a comfortable height to finish the job, or to split smaller rounds. I very often break the large rounds down to manageable size then hook the trailer up to the splitter tractor and stack the wagon as I split.

Have had a horizontal/vertical splitter since 1988. I guess it has an optimal height for horizontal. I don't know. I have never split a single stick horizontal. Why would anybody ever want to?

I have a bad back too. I cut a round to sit on that is the right height to not make my back hurt. And when I split it I know the job is finished.

I prefer to work standing up, and it is hard to move logs under a vertical splitter.

I wear ear plugs splitting

That is why I bought a 20 ton Ramsplitter electric. It is pretty quiet.
