So I saw a guy that had mounted his splitter on the trackhoe and uses the thumb hydraulics to run it. He could pick up the bucks and move them if he was gentle, and then just place them where he wanted and finish the split right onto the pile, or presumably a trailer if he wanted.
I have a 3-point splitter that I keep meaning to get around to doing that with. I’ve also just placed them end up and split them with the bucket teeth, but it’s way less precise, and you don’t get to move them where you want.

Also: muley.
I split it by hand for the exercise but moving the logs around with the hoe definitely saves the back and the chain.
Ya, I get my wife to move the logs as well.
