Back in the day, I used to spend all winter dragging logs out of the swamp. Then I would spend most of the spring and summer cutting them up and splitting the larger pieces. The really small stuff had already been cut up at the site and brought out in the front-end loader. The device you see on the left is my hydraulic splitter. I think I have some pictures of it in use, and I will show them to you when I come across them.
The splitter can be adjusted to operate either horizontally or vertically. I found that vertical worked better for my purposes. As I split each block, I would stack the pieces in the loader and dump them in the structure you saw in the background of the first picture. Then in the winter I would use the same loader to bring them into the garage where the wood furnace is located. It's hard to believe that I was ever capable of doing such work, but I was.
