You did good with that 3 pt set up, and relying on wood for most if not all your heat, I'd imagine you spend some time getting it done.
There is not much you can do when the log is to big to handle, buck and split where it lays.
I'm usually fortunate to be able to bring logs to my house, towing or loading 6'to 8' logs on my F600, which eliminates some handling, as I cut and split near the house, can load a shed or put 1 1/2 cords inside near the stove.
