Read my other post first. Many guys that burn wood also have a tractor of some kind, & making firewood is backbreaking work. As we all get older, we tend to get smarter. With a bit of imagination we learn to use machines to save our backs. With a loader, or forks on the 3 point, logs can be lifted onto a rack for easier cutting to stove length, standing up straight instead of bending over. Teeth on the loader saves hooking with a chain to lift. Table on rack can hold chunks level with splitter to save lifting. Small table on other side of splitter so chunks don't fall to ground & have to lift again. Stacking in baskets for storage eliminates handling an extra time. Fork attachment on 3 point needs a way to adjust tilt. Best way is replace top link with a hyd cylinder. For experimenting or lower budget, use a chain & binder, or even an elec winch as top link, doesn't need to move very much. No 12 volt power on tractor? Mount an extra battery seperate from tractor system, charge overnite after a day's use. Got a buddy close by? Work together, two heads better than one. Share expenses with each making part of the system. Don't need fancy engineering drawings, sketch on scrap, experiment & change to suit. Tractor won't lift a full pallet? Make smaller basket by cutting a 40x48 pallet in half- 40x24, or not load quite so high. The possibilities are endless, your back will thank you, & designing your setup will give you a warm fuzzy feeling & a good excuse to spend a cold day playing/ working in the shop. Willie
