I've been intending to build a pair of splitting stands myself, but have not done so yet. When I worked for the JD dealer back in the '70s, we used stands that were built by the Owattana tool company,(not sure I spelled it right), or OTC. The stand that bolted to the rear half of the tractor had a heavy caster wheel on it which allowed you to roll the rear away from the front. I doubt that a pair of similar stands would be cheap, but they certainly would be the safest way to do it. I recently used a large oak stump and stacked several 2x6s on top of that to get the height I needed. It worked, but I was scared of the tractor falling off the whole time it was split. Steel stands that are bolted in place is a much better way, and should be the only way.
