Suggest you place a long behind the pusher to limit return travel time. Sometimes, altering the angle of attack allows split. Have you honed the leading edge on the wedge finer than factory ? It makes it a lot easier on the components & motor. In UK, Forest Master offer a duocut head that replaces the domed pusher. Makes a big difference to performance on stringy logs. Turn your 5T force into similar to 7 or more. Great tool, keep safe.
