Is this a 'don't have a chainsaw, making do' thing, or a 'hey, is this a better option?' thing?
If you really, really don't want to use a chainsaw, and are willing to put in the time to build some sort of station to handle logs so that they can readily be brought to the saw/moved around, instead of carrying the saw around... maybe a radial arm saw would do the trick? I haven't any substantial
experience with them, but you can get them in BIG blade sizes, and I have heard these larger, heavy duty units are less dangerous than the smaller craftsman ~10" that were very common a few decades back.
