I’m 62 years old that’s a good machine. I had to raise it up a little bit for my back used to milk crates and a piece of little plywood 2 foot wide 3 foot long.Awesome I love it. Cut up a lot of kindling. I keep it right in my living room when I’m done I sweep and vacuum everything up never know. Never know I’ve been splitting wood in the living room. It’s nice and compact little powerful. I mean powerfulI just pretty much need to make Kenlin and break a big pieceof split Wood I buy my wood already cut and split. Some pieces are too big that machine takes care of that. It’s a great machine. I think it’s awesome. I used it to make kenneling already for the end of September. Made a bunch in no time I had one of those jack splitters.. This is way way way better.don’t hesitate to put it in your car and buy it. You can’t go wrong. I’m 62 years old. I know quality when I see it. Lotta junk out there today. This ain’t one of them.
