A friend in the firewood business gave me a great tip which helps to split 'Y' s.
When placing one on your splitter have the wedge running in the direction "up"the tree. Lay it flat like usual but turn it so the Y part is vertically oriented. It will split like any other round ususally. I tried it , and it works like a charm on larger pieces too! You should end up with 2 Y sections after the split.
