Hamish:
Now we need some smart chap to design and make a bowstave sized wood splitter. Splitting large diameter logs is a young man's game.

Here is my log arch trailer. A narrower version could work but you might need outriggers. I've used this set up to load a tractor tiller box, and huge landscaping boulders.

Brilliant…someone please get on this. I know some folks on here have the tools, creativity, and ability to get one of these built. I’d sure pay sone good money for one.
Selfbowman:
Good set up Clint.
Badger:
As far as a splitter goes, I think a rack setup where the log was lying flat, and the hydraulic splitter came down on it from the top could work out well. You could start a split put a wedge in and move the jack to another spot. Splits will often run off and coming down from the top you could recover easily enough. You would need a heavy cherry picker or tractor that could lift a 2,000# log onto the rack.
As for dragging logs out of the woods, I would think you could use winches. If you had some kind of a roller you could attach to the side of a tree for you winch cable to ride on you would be able to zig zag out minimizing the amount of time it takes moving the set up from tree to tree.
