I hae found, that the back stop on my spliter kept bending an brakeing..... because the cutting blade was on the ram. leaveing the stop stationary.to solve ths problem, I`am going to revirse them.. leaveing the blade stationary and putting the push plate on the ram... the trays i have installed on bolth sides of the I beam keeps the wood from falling on the ground... my desine was to put the spliter at waist level to keep from alwasys haveing to be bent over, thus saveing your back from akes and pians...works really great.you can even split right from your truck or trailer.
