What happens here
The hosts demonstrate the operation of the Wolfe Ridge Log Splitter. They first turn on the fuel and start the engine, then wait for it to warm up. The process of splitting involves placing a log on the loading deck, pushing it into the 6-way wedge using the hydraulic levers, and then collecting the split pieces. The host also emphasizes safety by correcting improper reach over the machine.
Goal: Split logs efficiently and safely using the hydraulic log splitter.
