I spent much of my spare time this summer slicing a bunch of fallen trees into rounds. Now I have a pile of rounds about 10x15x6 feet in area. And it is time to split this mess. In the past I did it by using a good hand powered splitting maul, but I can’t do this any more due to failing body parts. So I've been looking for a gas powered log splitter. They all look about the same to me, and the cost varies from about $1300 to about $2300.

My plan is to buy one, use it for a few weekends and then sell it. Any recommendations on good gas powered log splitters?
