I cut down, haul and cut and split 6 to 8 cords every year. Always split with wedges and an 8# maul. I bought a 22 ton splitter at Tractor Supply last year for right around $1000. It can be put in vertical mode or horizontal. Kolher motor and it is the "balls". I have split 24" Tupelo which is almost impossible to split with a maul. The splitter had no problem with it or Oak knots, etc.
