Why vertical & a gearbox? I'm not real fond of involving the car rim either I musy say! But, vertical??? Stumble & you will catch it for sure..... Have to lift all the wood & get your arm under the wood???? No thanks!!!!! The pto model I have actually slopes downward. Direct drive, pto shaft. Run it at idle. There is a bar along the side. Stick the wood on the point, let go, and it works itself in, splits. As someone said, you do _not_ want short pieces of wood. If they don't catch the bar, then they will spin around just horridly. I've rolled 30 inch across by 27 inch long wood up to mine, stalled the engine a few times, but generally worked well. I've also seen the same type with a metal table, rather than a bar. They looked pretty safe too. Relatively. Would think vertical would ve the worst - even if you ment pointing downward, then you have to lift allt he wood, or you have to lower, then raise the spinning point? --->Paul
