So I was splitting a decent sized round of red oak (about 2ft diameter). Had a little trouble getting it up onto the splitter (tsc husky 22 ton, in horizontal mode), but I got it up there. Then I started the splitter, and as it was going, the splitter tipped on end! I guess I had too much weight up there. Lesson learned
 
I've learned to have mine hooked up to the pickup when doing large rounds. It's wanted to tip, but hasn't yet.
 
I have a crank down wheel ( trailer jack) on the business end of mine. -problem solved
 
The support leg on the splitter I'm borrowing is bent pretty badly, so I already have a big round under the trailer tongue to hold it up. I just shoot a couple wood screws into it at an angle to "tie" it onto the splitter. No problems.
 
If the splitter is able, why not swing it up vertically?
