Leaving a stump of 8′ makes it easy to put a chain around it and pull out the stump.

Thanks for all the ideas. We had witnessed people with these sized chunks of wood in their trucks over Thanksgiving. My husband wants to get to it ASAP. We have an 18″ chainsaw, so I guess that will do. Can’t really tarp it because it was felled on steep terrain. They trees aren’t dead yet. Another question.. Why would those who cut these trees down, leave a stump about 8′? They cut my neighbors trees at the bottom and left the whole tree. Doesn’t make any sense. Wish I had the name of that co.

Pine is a soft wood and a chainsaw should cut it with no problem.

It’s doubtful anyone will take the wood if it’s in six foot sections and pretty large in diameter. It will be fine on the ground until next summer as long as it’s not already rotten. If you leave it on the ground a second year, it will likely start to rot and won’t be any good for firewood.

I have an 18-inch bar on my gas chain saw. I had some big trees cut which were just under three feet in diameter. Like yourself I thought my saw wasn’t up for the task. But I gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised, that with some patience, I could indeed cut logs that large with my relatively small saw. And of course, a fresh sharp chain will always improves the cutting speed (Ace hardware sharpens chains).

Put a tarp on it. Maybe you can rent a large chainsaw at arnold rents. I took down a few pines and waiting until next year until they are seasoned. If it’s pine you need to wait at least one year after it is split to burn it otherwise you will have creosote problems. Good luck.
