Yep..that's reason I built mine with a fixed wedge. My brother has a MTD brand splitter with the wedge attached to the ram and the beam rotates so you can split vertical. Big logs can be rolled into place and not have to lift them. It killed my back working bent over that way. With mine i just make sure anything i cut, i can lift. My wife is usually with me so she always lets me know if I've gone off the deep end and have cut too big a diameter trees. She loads while I cut.
