I'm finding the maple more or less impossible to split. I have a prosthetic shoulder and should not be attempting this. Female senior citizen here, in case you haven't figured that out by now. Some of the pieces are up to 24" in diameter. Yes, I know about splitting slabs off the side and using a wedge. It's still just to difficult for me.
What is my best option for turning these trees into firewood?

Honestly Sailin, if you don’t have any family, friends or neighbors who can help you with that I would not undertake that chore on your own if I was you. The pain and recuperation of a possible injury just isn’t worth the little savings you would see.
Take care!
