My yearly load got dropped off today. $650
The log on the bottom is a good 40" around. I am not sure how my 16" bar is going to handle it.

It is usually about 8 cords per truck load. This one could be a bit more do to the size and how straight they are. Typically I get a bunch of different size logs averaging 15" - 20" in diameter. This load is just huge Oak Trunks. As for the bigger saw, I am a fan of the Stihl Farm Boss. I could do a lot of damage with 56.5 cc. It would put my Echo CS-370 36cc to shame.
Really, thanks. I might have to rent a much larger saw. As much as I like processing firewood. I don't like logs that big they a pain in the ssa.Speaking from experience, an 029/290 Farm Boss would be woefully outclassed by a 40" log. I have an 029 that has kept me warm for almost 20 years, but I wouldn't recommend it for what you have there.
Cut as far as you can with your saw,,,,split that off by hand,,,saw rest of the way thru.
Or buy a bigger bar and chain to keep just for these occasions.
Or borrow a hand saw to cut what the chainsaw can't reach.
Doh! I got it straight now. But if you do end up looking around for that MS290 try to find one with something longer than the stock 16" bar.All I have now is a echo 370. I am thinking about up grading. It would make bucking a lot faster.
