Update:
Still working out the best methods, with an outdoor wood boiler in our future I decided to ramp things up a bit. We brought one of the big tractors down from the other farm and hooked up my little log arch seen here:
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/164138-building-small-3pt-hitch-logging.html I designed it with my B3200 in mind, but I guess it's plenty heavy duty holding up to the 2550 and some big logs:

Anyone want to guess what that weighed? It was 30" on the big end and 24" on the small end, 30' long, fresh Red Oak.
Got it all cut up and split into loadable pieces, including the crown that tree will be three heaping truck loads.

I'm guessing I'll need between 8-10 cords of wood for next winter which is what I'm working on now. To increase production further I'm thinking about making an inverted splitter to go on my B3200 loader to bust up the big pieces. Then I'll try to find an old hay elevator to convert into a log elevator which will dump directly into the C60 dump truck. Process will eventually be as follows:
-Skid logs in as long of lengths as reasonable to a landing
-Limb and buck logs there
-Split big pieces with inverted splitter, smaller stuff on standard horizontal splitter
-Toss split pieces onto elevator which will dump them into truck (14' bed with 4' high sides)
-Haul to house, dump split wood in front of shed that houses OWB
-Hand stack into shed where it can be thrown into boiler
Still have a few parts of the puzzle to work out (build), but I think it will be a good system.
