That's some nice firewood analogkid, how about renting a splitter.
Is your splitter just horizontal?Oh I'll definitely be using a splitter, but I'm not sure how I will be able to lift them to the splitter then hold them in place. They are HEAVY!

Nice pile of round & some serious BTUs.
Locust not that tough of a wood t split.
You might be surprised, hit a few of them with a maul & the may split like a ripe watermelon
Wondering why you would stack them if they are so heavy, wood is alot of work without double stacking, anyway good score. I guess I mean I believe I could get a maul and split them easyer than stacking them rounds.
That's what I'd suggest. Worst case is you use a maul (and wedge if necessary) to break them into smaller pieces that can be easier to get to the splitter.
I have never split locust, but I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that pretty much all wood is easiest to split while fresh/green. Hit it right next to the far edge and work your way across, rather than trying to split right from dead center.
AnalogKid, I have split ALOT of locust, all by hand. I guarantee you even though big round will not be that hard to split. The greener you split it the better. You can get all of that split in no time, seriously
