Looks similar to a Hycrack, beware they can be dangerous.
Best to present the log to the mandrel with the log offset to the right. This reduces the chance of log spinning and wacking fingers/ hand.
Suggest you wear cloves and
no loose sleeves etc to catch in the mandrel or --> a nasty accident.
You should have a safety rail to reduce the chance of falling forward onto the mandrel and you need
an emergency cut-off chord attached to the tractor's fuel cut-off knob.
If you haven't any user instructions, pm and I'll email some.
Good log splitting but take care - dangerous kit.
