Get one of the portable ones that you can haul from site to site to cut up other peoples trees.
I saw one work and it was pretty impressive. A friend of mine had some trees cut just to clear his property and even though he had no real use for the wood he had the trees cut into lumber.

I know it doesn't really work that good.
The summer between my junior and senior year in high school I worked with my father cutting timber to build a house. Instead of getting it kiln dried we just took it back from the sawmill and stacked and stripped it. Next summer when we started to build over half of the stuff was too twisted and bowed to use.
