You need a place for those splits to land!! Just went through a marathon splitting session with my BIL in July. I was so desperate for the help splitting that we just kept at it. When I finally got around to moving the splits on my own, we had made a 3.5 cord pile. I really wish we had broken it up a little into splitting/stacking.
Take a real serious moment to figure out where you're going to split, where the splits will land, and how quickly can you get them off the ground into a rack or something. You'll bury yourself and the splitter if you split it all in one go. I'm not kidding; you may have to throw a split 20' over your pile.
And if you split in your yard, the debris will kill the grass. That may not matter, but maybe there's a better solution a few feet right or left.
The seasoning clock doesn't start in earnest until rounds are split. I just got done with honey locust rounds that were two years old and stored off the ground. They were wringing WET!! How does that even happen?
For instance, if you've got a truck and a rack in place, it'd be great to throw the splits from the splitter into the truck and then stack each truckload. That way you save the step of picking the split off the ground and throwing it into the truck later.
With the quantity you're looking at, removing one "handling" of the split will add up fast. Same with putting the splitter right next to your work. Four steps per round opposed to ten makes a difference.
And the splits need to be somewhere you can get them inside the house with a foot of snow on the ground.
There's as much to think about as one could want. Make some good guesses and tweak the system every year as you get ideas.
I don't want to see you almost literally paint yourself into a corner with a mountain of splits. The pile below is seven feet high and maybe 25' long... 3.5 cords.
