Neighbor didn't know we were gonna work this hard today! Testing the STIHL 500i!

What happens here

At the work site, the log splitter is unhitched from the utility vehicle. The support leg is lowered and pinned into place to ensure the splitter is stable on the uneven ground. The host then briefly demonstrates the basic hydraulic controls of the log splitter to his neighbor, John, emphasizing the importance of staying clear of the 'pinch point' for safety.

Goal: Prepare the log splitter for safe operation at the work site.
