I leave it connected to the tractor, whichever one I'm using at the time. I usually don't even put down the front leg.
Notice the rounds close on one side and the pallets on the other. From the pile to the splitter to the pallet with only occasionally getting up to move the rounds closer.
I had the leg down here as I was just about to move the tractor to push a bunch of rounds closer from the main pile.

Oldpilgram, I have the same splitter and stack my wood the same way as you, including the "Holz Housen". I am lucky enough to have my wife roll the logs to me while I sit and split. She stacks too, but I'll usually help out with that too.
Sorry to hijack your thread Rswyrn, you will have an awesome splitting machine!
