I probably did it wrong.

If you have forks for the bucket you can lift the logs up and place them in a better position to cut. I am probably going to build a PT wood frame with some small notches to help the log stay settled. Lift it up roll it on and then cut. I have used an Ex to hold the logs and its the best way I have found. But if I can get the log on a platform at a comfortable cutting height then thats a win in my book.
I want to add a thumb to my 480C but I have other backhoe projects like brakes to do before I work on a thumb. Until then I am going to buy some forks and try my technique.
I do have a set of Titan pallet forks. There is a bit of a challenge with it. I need to keep bucking the log on alternating sides so it remains balanced. Then the center I can't really cut because it ends up pinching the bar. I was shooting for clamp the log, pivot the log by the splitter, buck it up at the splitter, and swivel back to the pile.
