Does the 066 look kinda small? Can I borrow the Predator?

How would you guys take care of this?

CUT it up with a 3 to 6 foot bar
Rip it apart with backhoe
321 Blast it with some dynamite?
Drag it to a ditch and let the bugs rot it?

Wood is KIWI.

KIWI wood is a hard wood Not the biigest bar on the saw:

Let's have a fire on a rainy day! Seriously, it looks like those logs are in and out of the way place- if anything that big can ever be considered out of the way.. I'm not familiar with "Kiwi" -presumably it is an import from New Zealand. Do yu know the Latin name?

Use the biggest bar you have for your 066, only cut it small enough to be loaded by whatever mechanical means you have available (loader, boom truck, whatever) into a dump truck or trailer to haul to the dump.
The good news it that it looks rotton on the outer 3"-4", so it might cut a little easier. Bring extra chains and files, keep your chain razor sharp and don't overwork your saw. Let the saw do the cutting without forcing it and heating up the bar/ chain too much. Let the chain spin for 15-30 seconds between cuts to get some extra oil on it and use the auxilliary oiler generously. Plan your cuts ahead of time so you don't get pinched. You can have that in loadable chunks in an hour or two.
