If its pine and not oak you should be able to slice it and dice it down to ground level or lower with a hand saw designed with the big, deep teeth for live green trees. Down at ye olde Tru Value Hdwre on Union Ave in Laconia .....for like twenty dollars you can get a good one, about 18" long, totally wicked sharp, two sets of cutting teeth on both sides of the blade, and a wood handle which will get it done .... and maybe last for the next hundred years.
Oak takes about five-10 times the effort.
There's a saw sharpening business on Rt 104, close to Center Meredith Rd turn off that can turn an old dull saw into a very doable cutter.
Prior to 1950, there were no chainsaws.

No need to be using a gas/cordless weed wacker either, just haul thy olde scythe down to the Rt 104 sharp shoppe.
