Do not think it would handle our Australian yellow box timber. Would need a bit more that 1.5HP

Re: Kinetic Log Splitter
I saw a version that was powered by a small steam engine. It appealed to me as it was able to produce it's own fuel . The small chips and nasty bits that wouldn't stack well were more than enough to keep it going .
