Harbor Freight Chinese Junk? Nope....Fastest Log Splitter I've ever Used!

What happens here

Prepare the log splitter for operation. First, the re-splitting table is folded down and locked into place using simple pins and tabs to create a larger work surface. The discussion then moves to the Kohler engine, emphasizing the recommendation for non-ethanol fuel to prevent carburetor gumming, especially for intermittent use. The hydraulic oil tank's large capacity for cooling is mentioned. Finally, the engine is started using a turn-key electric starter after ensuring the choke and fuel are set correctly.

Goal: Prepare the log splitter for safe and efficient operation.
