Some really innovative ideas on this interesting video, labeled "Extremely dangerous...", but I didn't see much danger, if the operator pays attention...

Actually, I don't know about the rest of you fellers, but the one that looked the most fun was the red-colored one that was > the last one in the video.....that's the one I'd pick, hands-down....!

On the subject of the splitters..they are dangerous.....any time you don't have the control of the part that does the splitting, your asking for it. With a conventional splitter, like most of us wood guys have, YOU control the part that does the damage. Besides, a lot of those gadgets would never cut eastern hardwoods......they may be fine for short pieces of pine...but try those machines on a knotty piece of white oak or hickory......

Re: Log splitting machines
I knew someone that lost 2 fingers to a splitter because a different person was at the controls! Never handle the log from the ends- always around the diameter!!
Looking at that video, it appears most of those machines are in Europe. ( look at the architecture & trucks).

Re: Log splitting machines
I have to agree; the most "dangerous" one would be the red one...
