Update:
After having used this log splitter for a year and having split 3 cords of firewood it has developed a seeping hydraulic fluid leak at the rear of the splitter. Now it's not a gushing leak but does leave a medium sized spot on the garage floor. If you were using this outside you probably won't even notice it and it only seeps enough fluid that topping off the fluid once at the start of your splitting season will be all you need to do. Not a really big deal and I will keep using it but still worth mentioning and enough that I removed one star.
The wheels are too small, and moving it around is pretty awkward. The legs are a little flexible as well, I may either weld up the seams, or make up some braces to stiffen them up.
