Everyone will have a different view on this, give some of the variables with processing firewood for ones home heating needs. No doubt, a 3 pt splitter running off tractor hydraulics that are marginal for using one of these gets old real quickly. Same is true with the older style "low rider" splitter,as the work height is very uncomfortable.

The horizontal-vertical splitters offered today by current manufacturers are a big improvement from those low rider types.

Personally, I like the Speeco log splitter line, TSC's Huskee brand re-badged.
It's built with a full beam,(unlike many where the cylinder projects past the beam). Some are or were offered with a Honda engine, wedge is on the ram and when retracted with a jammed block of wood will clear the blockage. I thought the product line they make is a good value for what you spend for a homeowner grade splitter. What model, by what manufacturer is best for your needs will be your decision to make.

There are higher end manufacturers, custom builders and so on, these will cost you a lot more, but are also suited more for higher volume or production.

There are lots of peripheral tools and accessories you can add to your tools to make the work easier, Peavey - Timber jack, pulp hooks, pickeroons, log grippers etc. I use gardenway type carts for hauling the split wood to the stack, and blocks to the splitter. I try to work as little as possible off the ground and the 28 ton Huskee I've had since '12 works well for my needs.
