Is this for primary heating via a wood stove? If so, a few logs split up won't last long. For an occasional ambiance fires in a fireplace? You'll be set for a while as long as the split wood is stored dry.

You can rent a chainsaw and logsplitter and DIY it if you're able to operate power equipment.

yeah, these are big chunks, I can't wrap my arms around them. Trees must have been >100yrs old. So i think splitting will yield a lot.

They will probably still be fairly wet inside if they have not starting rotting yet. Something that big you need to split up to start drying it out.

It's a lot of processing to get something that big into bits that you can deal with in normal machines to split and stack it.
