BF, interesting observation about how the pro's do it.
They must cut the wood into pieces just a little shorter than the stroke of the splitter. Push a piece thru and if it splits then fine but if it hangs up on the wedge or cutter then when the cylinder retracts there is enough room for the next piece to go behind is and just carry on.
Of course this assumes that stroke length is the limiting factor and not stroke force.
