Will the wedge traveling 24 inches into a 8ft post pretty much make the split?

Here's my splitter I built in 1981. I used a 10hp Tecumseh engine off a Sears tractor. It has a 2-stage hydraulic pump. Hal

That really threw me when you said you put a squared off piece of wood in there to extend out the split. I couldn't see why it wouldn't split the block of wood! THEN......I looked closer at your splitter! Now it makes sense. My "wedge" on my splitter is on the cylinder. I can only split lengths up to 25" with mine. I'd sure like to be able to split longer pieces as my stove will accomodate up to 32". 'Sure do like your set-up.....nice.

I was worried that we were going to see another hay baler converted into a wood splitter.
