Based on the recommendations here, the Cub Cadet was one of the top 3 log splitters.
This weekend I got started working with my new tool, I've been splitting 4 to 8 cords a year by hand and figured my kids could help with a splitter.
The first thing I split was all the knotted, twisted, knarly pieces that I have set aside for years (just not wanting to deal with them by hand). With the splitter running about 80-90% it took care of these with no problem or strain on the engine.
Then it was time to take on the pine trunk I took from a neighbor to burn outside, branches every 4-6 inches, and about 22" across. I ran the engine at full throttle, and again, barely any strain on the engine and we are ready for fire pit burning. Ran it for about 3 hours, and used about 1/2 tank of fuel.
Jumping ahead, split about 3 cords about 6+ hours of running and sipped less than 2 gallons of fuel (yes it was recommended that at least a Plus grade fuel be used).
Runs rather quietly, while I was wearing hearing protection, my wife indicated that from the front yard she was only hearing more or less a humming, nothing like the sound of something like a chainsaw.
No problems, other than a spring pin on the lever that vibrated loose. Very happy with the recommendation, and the machine!!
