When you cut a tree down do you split right away?

I try to split as I go. I know from experience I'm not very good at getting back to a stack of rounds once they are cut, but if I split as I go then the wood goes straight from tree to stacked in the shed. At least one fewer handling steps, compared to moving rounds home, stacking them, coming back and splitting, then restacking the splits in the shed.

By splitting when I buck the tree I load splits direct into my 4x4 which I can back right up to the shed. Split goes from 4x4 to the stack where it stay until it is burnt in 2 years time.

Man that sounds great.

I usually have to travel. That is double or sometimes triple touching everything.
I need the exercise and I need the wood but man it gets old takes too much time.

I split and stack as soon as possible.

My neighbor had a buddy come by with his chainsaw and cut some downed trees into rounds.

This was last spring.

The rounds are still stacked at the side of the yard.

It makes me itchy just looking at 'em.
