I've handled stuff I had to cut it from both sides with a 28" bar, if you can pick that up and put it in my boiler your three times the man I am. Also have a skid steer mounted splitter and a grapple for the skid steer.

Well 56" round logs are sure a different story, LOL, I cut firewood and nothing that big, don't own a skid steer, grapple or space station. Was only trying to say for me cutting trees for boiler firewood I would rather not handle them two more times at the splitter. The bigger diameter they are the shorter I cut them, after a while of cutting this way I can look and see what we can handle. Just because the boiler is 4' doesn't mean I need to cut every piece 4', to each his own tho.
