Sounds like a plan for wrecking your landcruiser.

Find someone with a tractor or bulldozer.

Pine halves in weight (just a guess) when it dries, if you can leave it for a year then it saves your back and gear a whole lot of work.

I find Pine to be a PITA to split by hand, too soft, splitter just sinks into it.

He’s talking about short sections of log, three rings long, so maybe 1000mm? Pine does drastically reduce in weight once dried, but not generally in log form. I’ve only ever bothered to split big old man pine, never with a splitter, only with a chopping axe.
