Stihl here

Now I am just a homeowner that enjoys nice equipt, But I don't see why all the talk about big saws for cordwood. I have a stihl ms361 and an stihl 026 and I will tell you that for 3-4 cords of firewood that I gather from jobsites or whatever my 026 makes more sense. Do you guys lift 18'' to 24'' inch rounds up on the splitter or in your pickup? I wouldn't!!! I can see a bigger saw in a grapple pile in my yard but for the firewood scavenger I think 50cc make more sense. Firewood for me is max 16'' and I tend to shy from those not because I can't cut them but I dont want to load them on my pickup and then lift on to the splitter!!! My homeowner type firewood seems to be 4''-12'' which seems to handle best from my angle. Whats your thoughts?
