Log Splitter Setup

I hope I get this right!! Felling and busting a big hickory tree!
What happens here
The presenter positions the Wolfe Ridge log splitter. He uses the Honda Pioneer to back the splitter to a level area. He then deploys the splitter's front jack, lowering it until it firmly contacts the ground, ensuring the machine is stable. He removes the hitch pin to disconnect it from the UTV and then removes the rear stabilizers from their transport position, placing them on the ground to provide additional stability. Finally, he starts the log splitter's Honda engine, allowing it to warm up to optimal operating temperature. An important safety reminder to always wear hearing protection when operating the splitter is given.
Goal: Safely set up the log splitter for operation in a stable and level position.
