Some of the things people do when they have too much time on their hands. Pretty cool though.

I use a 36 inch bar on my Stihl. I don't like to bend over.

My big saw has a 14" bar. I hate cutting wood I have to split. I also hate wrestling a bigger saw than what I need. I guess I'm just a big sissy.

I have a Stihl 044 that I bought new in the late 80's. Still a great saw! I downsized the bar to a 20", used to have a 26". That V8 would be better in a car or truck...

Just felling timber in the great north woods. When walking a log and liming it ya can keep yer back straight and reach three sides of the tree. Bending over will wear yer back out in short order.

And a 6 or 8 foot Western Red Ceder or Sitka Spruce is not uncommon up here.

Cool but no idea why they chose a Holden 253 engine, they are widely regarded as a great boat anchor over here. I'll stick to my Stihl, what a fantastic saw.
