Vertical Mode On A Round I Couldn't Lift
What happens here
Once the log splitter is securely locked in its vertical operating position, the next implied step is to position the large log directly onto the ground, centered beneath the splitting wedge. This setup allows the hydraulic ram to push the wedge down into the log, splitting it without requiring any heavy lifting by the operator. Although the video does not explicitly show the log being placed or split, this is the functional purpose of the vertical configuration.
Goal: Prepare the log for splitting by placing it correctly beneath the vertical wedge.
