It seems like just about everyone on this board is scared to death or berates this type of splitter. I have one (Bark Buster ?, label wore off) I use on the back of MF35 diesel and love it. There are some caveats. Our wood isn't huge (12-16 diam. maple, yellow birch), don't go crazy with the throttle, don't split short pieces, I reinforced the stop bar so it will no longer bend, installed drop legs from the table to give a more sturdy platform, have an accessible cable to fuel shut-off just in case, don’t get to close to the point of the auger, don’t wear floppy clothes and don’t force the wood (let the physics do the work). Make sure the stick extends 3-4 inches past the stop bar, lightly hold the stick against the auger point (may need some pressure to get through loose bark and catch into solid wood), when it catches step back. Respect this machine like you would any other. Your mileage may vary, it works well for me.
