I live at 3000 feet, and the Fir in the Highcountry gets awful big.......and everything around here is built with logs.Unless you are a professional faller on the west coast, what possible need would you have for a saw large enough to run a 40" bar? In Kamloops??
When I was a young man I packed a saw everyday all winter long and never found a tree I couldn't drop with a 20" bar. A few were 4' in diameter.
And 4 of them? You definitely make too much money!
OT: New toy? Bought a vibrator with 10 levels of vibration/pulsation. My SO seems to enjoy the combo of me/it.
A LOT!
I go through 6 cords of firewood, and when cutting so much, you spend less time bending over cutting the rounds with a longer bar.
The falling of the tree is the fastest part as you know......cutting it every 16" is the work.
When building with logs ,several sizes are required, for notching ,brushing ,and a large saw for ripping uses a different blade with more power.....the longer the bar the the straighter the cut.
FYI.......Kamloops is just the closest town to me......120 Klms.
I use a tiny little Stihl for my firewood. The kind of saw that arborists carry dangling from a line when climbing trees. I love the lightness of it.
For trail clearing I sometimes use a battery-powered electric chain saw, because I find it easier to carry spare batteries than to carry a can of gas.
But, I don't depend on these things for my living and winter survival, the way Sybian likely does. If I run out of firewood, I just turn up the electric thermostat and go back to reading PERB.

Like you i hate being hunched over when bucking logs, and I am really tall so it is more awkward for me than some say under 6 feet tall.
And a big saw is heavier so kicks back less to.
And when cutting that big power makes it so effortless.
Last summer I had a logging truck load of wood dumped in my yard.
A little saw would have been so frustrating, where a big saw just rips through a large fir or birch tree.
after a lot of years where my favourite toys have been collector cars,cabins,log splitter,blower,chainsaw blah blah blah ect....this year its "my ding a ling !" this toy has been with me all my life and shortly after 1987 when I got married I like others slowly put it away, yknow out of sight out of mind.....then suddenly as I was looking through perb one day in late 2016 I found that ole toy again and started letting others play with it....and I have found I really like sharing my toys.....now gotta get my sp up to my cabin and run the log splitter....hmm better yet maybe the blower
