Rob, I think if it was me I would cross-cut those 24 inch logs into 12 or 16 inch pieces, then make the first split in each piece with a couple of wedges and a sledge hammer. Nice straight grained oak should split pretty easy, especially after it freezes in the winter. After their split once you should be able to Easily get them up onto the log splitter by yourself.

HI, What I'm wondering is can a guy cut a log the long way with a chainsaws with out hurting the saw or himself?? Why I'm asking this is I have a lot of oak logs that are about 24 inches around and up from there... So when I cut a 16 to 18 inch off the log I can't move it myself to put in the wood splitter... So I was thinking that if I cut down the long way on the log then cut the 16 to 18 inch piece it would be in two pieces then maybe I could move it...
