Before renting a processor, I thought about building something like this (too cheap to buy it):
Firewood Cutting Table - Our Products - Log Splitters & Firewood Conveyors - Wolfe Ridge MFG - Eau Claire WI - 715-598-779
I have a grapple to load the table, forks would work, or even a log tong would do the job. Keeping logs at waist height make things so much easier. I ideally, have the splitter close by so you can lift the rounds off the table to the splitter to reduced work even more. If you have a splitter that pushes the log into the wedge, set up an outfeed table to push splits directly into trailer or a work surface so the splits do not fall on the ground for stacking.
But I wound up renting a processor and it makes things simple and fast. 12 cords in 15 hours cut, and split by a 69 YO man and 56 YO lady.
