I'm thinking the cant hook with log jack looks like a really good option for this. I might just need to add one of those to my kit ASAP.

I have one - and use it. Handy for the stuff up to about 18". After that I don't use it so much for the lift, but I will use it if leverage is needed to roll the log (like a cant).
Yes and them must be some small trees to be lifting and rolling around good luck.

Most of what I process is oak around 40" diameter, and I've brought home some white oak as large as 60" diameter. The absolute smallest I touch is 24" diameter, since I leave anything less than that for the owner of the land where I cut. Do you process much larger than 40" diameter?

they average around 14".... i did just get some 40" maple chunks that I can't wait to split though
Nope not bigger, just all this talk about picking up, putting on cribbing, hard enough just to roll to the splitter.
Agree really the only way to buck large logs. Still can be tricky if it's very large wood and hard to get at it helps to have machinery if possible if you can't roll the log
No wonder you use your 066 so much and don't use the 60cc saw
your cutting some big wood. I do encounter 40 inch trees but that's only on occasion. Typical for me as far as firewood processing is 18 to 30 inch oak.
I bought one last winter.......best wood processing money I have ever spent.....I can not believe I went so long without one.....mine came with a little "stand" thingy.....you can roll the log and props it up about a 8 inches off the ground (depending on how far down you grab the log)

Most of my property is about 20-30 year growth. I can move all of that but a few of them by hand.

In my opinion - the one getting chunked up in your pic is perfect size. I can make lots of wood darned quick with that size of stuff.
