That handle gives you so much more leverage (and now you can use both hands) than just having the metal handle in the middle, when moving it on uneven terrain or moving it up and down the trailer ramp. It should have come with something like this. I do a lot of work by myself, so what ever makes it easier for me … the handle on the log splitter, the timber jack, etc.
I do a lot of big stuff w/o any heavy equipment, so as you get older, you get smarter! I even made an extender for the timber jack handle, but I did not use it today.
A few years ago, I had to move a 25' (2.5' diameter) Hard Maple log about 30', with just the ATV. I wrapped a heavy duty strap around the log multiple times, and pulled on it with the ATV to "unroll" it, worked great!
