Thank you all. Compared with Bazza's machine, the GMC is a toy. i now find it is limited to 5 tonnes, log size max 10" dia by 12" long. Bazza does 20 or 30 tonnes, and much larger logs.

I suspect Bazza is right about the GMC being limited to radiata, or perhaps small logs of straight grained hardwood. And I can crack that stuff by hand.

The $100 question remains, are they suitable for Al's "southern suburbs" ?

My wood splitter has a wooden handle on it and requires a bit of effort for the winter. Keeps my ticker going I feel.

Man that is a toy that would be ideal for splitting Pinus Crapiata to make starters to light the fire. That would save getting the tomahawk out.

Har Har. I didn't recommend it, just provided the link. I'm sure if you sharpened it and lifted it over your head and swung hard enough you might split something...your trousers perhaps?
