Doing it for the kids

Tried this in machinery, 94 views but no responses.
As the tittle says, I'm looking to split down (increase surface area) of about 300 tons of logs per annum.
The logs are coming in in all shapes and sizes, rings and big logs / trunks. Most of it was small enough for two lads to hump but some is a bit bigger having been extracted by small grab.
I want to process this into thinnger bits quickly with minimal labour, the second we have to get off a machine it doesn't work really. The only time that may happen is if anything needs cutting down if longer than say 2.5 m
I've identified a log splitting cone and a log cruncher, basically a grab which cuts and splits open logs.
Running a 7.5t digger so that could sit in the shed for a few hrs a week to split stuff down as it arrived.
Has anyone any advice on what to look out for please? I like the grab/pincher idea as it can move as well as split, the cone can move but it's not as handy.
