Hmmm. . . I can't say that I've ever re-rolled a log. Ever. With a logjack you are lucky to get 2 cuts before re-positioning. I'd rather roll a log once (especially if it's a big log) than have a new wrestling match every 2 cuts. But what do I know? I think each of us has to figure out what doesn't work.

As for the @$$ to head ratio, 90% of that can be remedied with a 24"+ bar. Running those little ticklers with a short bar one is bound to be bent over most of the day.
Roll , reroll, whatever. Either way its better to get it off the ground if possible . Maybe you Paul Bunyon types;hm like to work bent over but I think most prefer not to.
 
Techniques that works for some may not work for others.

Share & try different techniques. Find what works best for you & your situation.

Be versatile & able to bend with the situation,
