Curious case of American Broad Axes with long handles

Thank you Ernest. Straight forward, simple solution is most likely the right one!!
For some reason (maybe because of folding sawing machine) I imagined some convoluted, mechanically fancy setup that allowed to make rip cuts parallel to the ground without the need to elevate heavy timber.

With such a conception for rip sawing there is no way around some fairly complex guide system that I can think of and soon enough you'd be off defeating your own purposes trying to devise such a thing. There are staging set-ups that eliminate or at least minimize lifting, such as a pit system, something built into a slope or some combination. Otherwise incremental lifting with two or three at each end.
