Finally, a topic I can offer some advice on. 8>)
I personally find it just as easy to split wood with an ax then with a
splitter. Better workout as well.
You are suppose to split when green to let the wood dry out.
If you are close to NJ and you have a 3pt hitch, you are more than welcome
to borrow my wood splitter if you aren't up to the chore of ax splitting.
FWIW, I can split wood as fast with an ax then with a splitter. But there
are new ones now that split in both directions that would cut the time in
half!

[Shop-talk] OFF TOPIC - wood splitting
As long as we are off topic the last few days...
I just had a large oak tree cut down and I kept the wood but now I
have to split it. I am thinking I will rent a splitter for a weekend.
When do you split wood ? I always thought it was after good and dry
but the tree guy said anytime is fine, if i split it when its green it
will dry faster (that makes sense).
Shop content - I will use the split wood in my wood burning pizza oven
to make pizza's to eat in the shop
