I did for years, though I needed a hydraulic splitter, given the amount of wood available to me, I mostly bucked the logs and stacked those to dry, and it seasons fine, then I would split by hand in the cooler weather for my immediate needs.
Personally, I never minded the hard work, it was good exercise, manual labor for the most part never used to hurt anyone, I too have shoulder issues and the motion/impact of it, absolutely had to hang it up, just no dealing with it, not sure if they can repair the problem, so I bought a used Huskee 28 ton splitter, got the 4 way wedge, and the tray for it. I then got a gardenway cart, and have 3 old school jackson wheel barrows, the cart I can draw from the pile thats bucked, load it up, then use the wheel barrows to haul the split wood to the shed or stack. The gripper, is a great tool, I can lift and ride a 24"+ diameter log up my leg even if its heavy, not having to bend over, just crouch to grab it. Then unless when starting a new stack, you just don't have to work off the ground or strain your back, I can do this work a lot longer without any problems with my back or getting fatigued, might not be as fast as a processor, but you can work through quite a bit in a reasonable time and feel fine the next day.
