It would make firewood processing easier as well. I have gone to holding my tree length at waist height and sawing to firewood length, building a pile about 50 feet long. Then when the pile is large enough running the splitter down the length of the pile. As I have a horizontal splitter it shoves the split pieces off the end when the pile gets big enough it shoves the splitter back keep splitting till the end of the pile.
Like you said work smarter!!!
