Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well yeah. But I either have to cut them into firewood, or I can cut them into boards. Either way, I have to do something with them. None of the lumberyards here will buy them or even take them unless they are the ones to fell them.
Do it the way it was done before chainsaws.
Cut them into long lengths. Split them long. Only when they are size you want - then cut to the lengths needed.
This keep your options open.
8 and 12' lengths would be good for building, and nothing shorter than 4' unless you're sure its just fire wood.

If you don't want or terrain doesn't permit you drag the logs, a blue ox is handy.

They like chickens! They had a den out back of the cold storage in mountville. There was a chicken farm with huge commercial coups next door. Lots of feathers around the den entrance.
Who doesn't like chicken.:poke:
They do eat the dog food . I mixed that mange med. With it, and the do drag their food to the den.
 
We've been doing it almost every night for a couple weeks. Last nights tornado was 30 miles west. Night before that 10 miles north. Thunderstorms and buckets of rain almost every night. Farm fields near the creeks and rivers are flooded. Many have not been able to get in the fields to finish planting. It's springtime in the Midwest.
We’ve been much much closer. The one on post, I was 150 yards from. The one that same week a few days before, missed the farm by 1/2 miles.
The latest one, went right overhead as a rotating wall cloud and less than 3 miles later, dropped one down. There’s been 3-4 others a bit farther but all within 7-10 miles. And each time, they’ve been getting closer

Not sure what you mean by split them long?
 
Looks like the same one we had at the park. Pretty good. VaFo had the simpler version.
In either case get the snap lines right before you start cutting.
get a rip blade.
And if it starts slow down, look for a loose bolt - dont ask me how I know...

I think its fine for boards and slabs for your own use. That's a door jamb there.
If you're selling, find someone with a Woodmizer or similar, for a lot less waste.
Cool thanks. Guess I’ll be placing this order.

How do you know??? :D
 
Half inch. If I put booster on lowest part of adjustability it fits under hood. Just. But needs factory covers.
I may have a set of 70 440 valve covers somewhere. If I find them, I’ll toss them in

People nowadays saw the logs into short sections, maybe 2 feet long.
Before chainsaws, even logs for firewood weren't usually cut any shorter than 4'. Splitting a 4' log is easier and faster. The end user could saw them shorter if needed with a buck saw.
