Best tips/ equipment to chop wood

[DaffodilTime]

I would love advice as we've used nearly all our firewood and have plenty of fallen trees but no equipment.

How hard it chopping wood? Shall we pay someone to do it or is it something I can work out myself (I tackle most things)

What is a good make of saw and should we buy a log splitter?

My ambition is to have a beautifully neat and ordered wood pile as they do in Germany/ Switzerland/ Austria where not a piece of wood looks out of place and all in uniform size !!
