The splitting process: From trailer to splitting table to the stacks, trying to minimize unnecessary bending over

The stockpile, enough for 2-3 winters:
Five years ago I built a free standing table for someone with a tip up splitter. It covered the engine side, including the engine. There was a section that tipped up for engine access to start/stop, but it wasn't attached to the splitter and could be used on either side. I thought it was a huge improvement for re-splitting but he didn't use it.
Photo is of a different table I used for years and years on a fixed beam.
Some think of it as a staging table, which it could be apart from the conveyor, but as set up here it was great for re-splitting. For keeping the larger pieces close at hand to run through again and again.

Done with this year's load. Now on to the woodlot to start cutting the next batch.

Ash is the best wood! Throw it right in the stove after its split no seasoning
Got this wood a month or so.

1st 2 pieces of the processor have been acquired. Also helpful to move splits to the stove. Am I smart or lazy?

Built this a few years ago. Still sitting on my fenceline. 2nd pic is my rounds table for my big splitter. Plan is to use tractor to load and dump big rounds onto it then they roll to the wedge for splitting.

I would argue the easiest way is the smartest way ! No shortage of work you know...
We don’t need as much wood as most of the members on this forum, here is Georgia it doesn’t get that cold. On the other end of the spectrum we have to have good insulation and good HVAC equipment. Here’s a load of red oak I cut the day before thanksgiving.

Burned wood for 35 years straight, don’t know if I ever tried Mulberry, nice haul!
I like it! I was thinking of making some of those wings to hold the splits after the first split. But that table would work even better.
It has a very good btu and about every fence row in indiana or at least by me has it. That was the main wood, had some oak decent cherry, walnut and maple.
Looks like some of my hauls. I like working with that size. Easy to handle.
I've missed several ads on CL for roller conveyors. Looking to get a section to run from splitter to trailer.
I got 2 10' pieces for $60 for both!
I heat with a boiler so most I can cut to length and put in, however it doesn’t season as well that way. Even if I cut to length I try to let it season a year before burning.
