Seems like time for some steel wedges.
Two of them for about 5 dollars each, you can turn a big
stump into smaller pieces, suitable for picking up and tossing
into the back of a truck.

For one time use, I'd buy one good steel wedge and make an assortment
of wedges from the hardwood lying there. Just sharpen some 3-4-6"
diameter chunks of branch about a foot long. If the wood is
fairly hard they'll stand up to a suprising amount of abuse. [Locust
will last nearly as well as steel]

A couple advantages of wood is ;
1. you don't have to worry about sawing around them
2. you can beat on them with your axe
3. they're free
