What I have been using as a log lift is a table next to the splitter that I can place a pallet on. I load the pallet with big rounds and move it to the splitter with the forks. Then i can just roll the round from the pallet onto the splitter.

I also keep all my big rounds on pallets. Makes it easier to move stuff around and keeps the wood off the ground.

First of all, you don't need a log lift, IF you work smarter instead of harder...

Cut all of your wood over a wagon or trailer, then there's NO lifting heavy wood to the splitters beam, just roll them onto the beam!

IF you have a table on your splitter, resplits re no problem at all, at least with mine it isn't. Everything get's pushed through the 4-way,

and the resplits get rolled back over the 4-way, right back onto the beam... Letting the splits go off the end, means I don't have to handle them again to get them off the splitter. Sometimes IF I have the help, they go off the end and right into half cord "drying boxes" that get moved with the tractor,

You just have to buy the right tools and work out a system, it really lightens the work load!

That requires 2 people to cut and having a wagon. It's also more difficult to cut than working in an un cluttered area. Glad it works for you, but it's not the only and best way to cut wood.

I've done some of that on massive pieces, but a real log lift is much faster on piece 20" or less. As bad as it hurts me to say it I've also found pallet forks work a lot better than a grapple or backhoe thumb.

Probably true. Bucket works as a table too, if you do it that way. This way looks cooler. I'd rather do this than tip the splitter up.

It does NOT require two people, I sometimes cut them off my pallet forks myself...

Work SMARTER, not harder!

I had wanted a Split-Fire log splitter for years, but kept putting off the purchase due to the high cost, and I didn't want to settle for a 3 point hitch version. I finally came across a good deal on the exact model I wanted earlier this spring.
Since then I hadn't used it much, but I've put a few cord through it and after getting used to it I can honestly say that I should have just paid the money years ago and purchased it new. I've been missing out all this time!

I want to know what happened to the bottle of beer in the splitter!

Cutting on a wagon by yourself doesn't seem smarter not harder. I'm not seeing the drastic labor savings by rolling rounds across a wagon vs the ground anyway.

I CAN believe YOU wouldn't be able too... ha ha ha

Is your wagon lower friction or something? Please explain.
