It's the splitter itself which needs to be higher off the ground. I load from my grapple or trailer, but my back can't handle constantly bending over to split.
Should be to much to build a platform to set splitter on , misunderstood what was causing the back pain. The heavy rounds I use the grapple too. For the logs, I grab with the bh and bring up to waist height. I bought new tractor this spring and it all was thought out to process my firewood among other things LOL

I rebuilt my splitter because of that issue. New axle mounted lower on the frame & bigger tires keeps my back from complaining too much.

Never heard of one so I took a look - interesting tool

I was skeptical.. bought it and use it every time I cut/split wood. I just got the one piece for lifting, use my grapple or back hoe for the bigger stuff

I noticed a tree down in the soybean field across the road from me. I talked to the owner and they said I could get it for firewood. I regret it a little bit, it’s oak I think but there weren’t a lot of straight pieces. The main truck was big, probably 30” and bigger but it had so many forks and odd shapes I left it behind. The last picture is after I was done.

Funny how after years of firewood experince we know what is good and what isn't. We all want that perfect easy to split long LOL. Good looking log that you did get for free thou

I don't know why but the same thing happens with the bar oil too. Makes a mess.
