Do you have to be strong to operate ir?

No: only to move it around in a woods! My wife and I work together, she on the short pull piston and I on the long pull (hardest). I am 83 years old and had a reverse shoulder replacement in September 2016 and split more than a cord of stove wood in April. You do have to mount it firmly on 2 X 4's to keep it stable while operating on large logs at its limit. I am also mounting it on wheels so I can get it over rough terrain.

Can you split larger (10"+) diameter wood if you rotate the log and split the "other side/half" ? thanks!

I have split 18 full cord so far this winter. Most of the wood was ash, and some was up to 20". Also if you happen to cut a block @ more than an 18" length, you can stand it on end and split it anyway. But be careful it does not spin to one side on you.

How large of a log diameter can this split? I have tree sections that are 18" - 24" dia that I want to split.

Dear Scott, We recommend using this unit with logs up to 18 in. long x 8 in. wide. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions please let us know. Thanks Customer Service Team Snow Joe + Sun Joe

what type of oil do I need, do I need to top it off after each retraction?

This is basically a car jack on its side. You pull the handles and the jack goes higher. After you break a log, you retract the jack by releasing the valve. Then start all over on the next log. It is hydraulic, so eventually you will need to refill with hydraulic fluid, but not for a very long time, maybe never depending on use.
