cool! I like this kind of "lazy"!

If they put a 1 inch x 2inch pre splitter on the wedge that 50 ton would split those elm . A pre splitter welds to the center of the wedge and pushes in first to start the split . I have one on my splitter but it is on the botton . I need to cut it off and move it up to the center .

Their center knife is about 2-3 inches ahead of everything else.  Those marks on the block of wood are only from  the center knife and not from the entire splitting wedge.   I think it just was a awkward piece of wood.
I watched the guy reaching in, flipping and turning the block, nope. He kicked it out cut a second one, same thing. Then I signaled him to reverse the log and carry on.
