    I can only recommend a hookaroon(pickaroon) for pulling rounds out of the pickup.
    I’m partial to the stihl version. But the blue one (logrite) is just the same thing without the stihl name/ logo.

    I've been splitting and stacking the splits right into my skidsteer bucket (as high as I can get them to stay put) and driving them down to the stacks, then stacking the splits right out of the bucket and into the stacks. Never have to bend over. I like not having piles of splits to deal with...cut out the "middle man" and it never touches the ground from th4 splitter to the stack.
