There are probably 4-5 logs that I'm going to have to get someone over with a bigger saw, to get through the lower half, but I'd have them cut short to keep the lifting possible.......unless your neighbor wants to loan that out in trade for some plastic.
Having heated my home with wood for the better part of 35 yrs. I get a chuckle out the people who say they need a larger saw to go through the log lengths they have. A saw with a 16" bar will cut a tree with a 32" diameter no problem. So unless you got some real old growth trees you should be able to cut those logs. Splitting is another problem altogether.
