No firewood to too much firewood

Since moving to Missouri I have not had a place to cut firewood for several years. That all changed a couple of years ago. This year I have more firewood to cut than I know what to do with. My son suggested selling some but I have a little ford ranger so that is not really an option.
I have three trees at my friends house where I hunt to cut and his neighbor is dropping some trees in her pasture for me to cut up and take. A friend at church has a tree in his yard he wants me to get as well as several in the pasture I can have.
The problem one is another friend at church has a huge black oak he wants me to take. The top is out of it and I cut up on big limb that fell out of it and hauled it home on my ranger and his trailer. He wanted to cut it but I was afraid to take it down and luckily son borrowed his saw and dulled it so we could not take it down that day. A line crew working on his property said they would drop it for him. He told me it took them a while to get it down with a 24inch bar. They finally got it down and it is about 50" across the butt and solid. I am glad his saw would not cut anything that day.
He told me his son would cut it up for me. I am not sure how as he only has a twenty inch bar. He also has another oak and some other trees down for me to cut up that are big.

Not sure what Ranger you have, but I have hauled a lot of wood with my Ford Ranger 4x4 with the V6 engine.  Just get a decent trailer and you can easily deliver a cord at a time.

I have pulled a trailer before. But I have 170000 miles and replaced one transmission. I also am limited on space to store wood.

These people are all good people that I really like or I would turn down some of it. The big oak is also straight up and about 30 foot tall or better. I hate to see it going for firewood.
