You did good with that 3 pt set up, and relying on wood for most if not all your heat, I'd imagine you spend some time getting it done.
There is not much you can do when the log is to big to handle, buck and split where it lays.
I'm usually fortunate to be able to bring logs to my house, towing or loading 6'to 8' logs on my F600, which eliminates some handling, as I cut and split near the house, can load a shed or put 1 1/2 cords inside near the stove. Most are not large diameter, but a few years ago I hauled in several truck loads from field clean up of that ice storm in Dec '08, some 24"-36" oak, those are harder to handle.
Nothing for the safety police to haul you in for there,(he must be much bigger now, I remember you posting shots years ago doing wood and similar) If I am seeing clearly, that is a nice black cherry log, and even a crotch in that wood is probably easy for that splitter, something special about black cherry, splits easy, makes a nice aroma, burns even and clean, and as dry as you get it, does not seem to ever really take off, burning rapidly, and it will burn well with some moisture just the same, was always the wood I sought when I was short, can dry by the stove in a week if need be.
