    The product, in the report: CountyLine 25 Ton Log Splitter SKU# 1261517

    This is a safety notification. I am also in contact with the manufacturer - YTL International Inc.

    CountryLine 25 ton log splitter Purchased at Tractor Supply Company

    Yesterday (2/23/20) I was using the log splitter to split logs from a felled tree. I transported the log splitter to the tree by towing it there. The logs were a little heavy so after consulting the instruction manual I decided to place the log splitter in a vertical orientation. I had never used the product in this way before.

    “To split wood in the vertical position, release the pin on the beam latch located near the front end of the beam. Tilt the beam up until the foot plate is sitting squarely on the ground and the log splitter is stable.”

    When I placed the beam vertically I could see that the foot plate was a little off the ground so I moved the splitter slightly to adjust it. When I moved the tongue of the splitter I leaned over it to move it, but the I-beam came crashing down on my back. The I-beam only locks in the down/horizontal position and not the vertical one and it is unstable in the upright position and even the slightest movement will cause it to come crashing down. The beam is very heavy and it has bruised my back and ribs and when it knocked me to the ground I broke my finger.

    I was hurt by this accident, but I could easily have been killed.

    The manufacturer still sells this product through Tractor Supply Company and there should be a warning at a minimum that the beam is unstable when it is upright. The product needs a locking mechanism to safely keep the beam upright.

    Please take appropriate action to warn customers of this danger.
