$179 Morrison Chainsaw from Bunnings 45cc MCS45E 

YOu did OK for a first atempt. I have seem some very dangerous YT chainsaw users... My Top Tips for chainsaws. 1. Plan your step-back area to be safe, level and free of hazards (check for overhead obstructions (other trees, powerlines etc) 2. Plan where the tree is going to land (considering the way it is already leaning as a guide for the weight movement and any damage it already has) 3. Make a wedge cut on the side you want the tree to fall over into about 1/3 of the diameter of the tree, at a comfortable height. You can cut the stump shorter later. 4. make the back side cut where it will come out into the wedge about in the middle of the wedge height. When the tree seems to be ready to fall, back the saw out and step back so the tree doesn't kick up and back at you standing close to the stump. 5. cut it up into the bits and sizes you want, again, using an undercut first to the cut breaks cleanly, and doesn't crack or hinge on the bark... as you discovered, cutting up the fallen tree takes some thought, and figure out how to take the tension of the cut depending on the contact points... put the supporting stump on the other side and have the end in the air, not ready to wedge the chain as it closes up the gap under the weight... Also, if you are going to cut that diameter tree again, you need a longer bar so the tip of the chain is clear out the other side, not ending in the wood, leaving a strip uncut, which will affect the hinge and the fall of the tree... Hook up with some country fire guys or SES and get the chainsaw training... they you will truly be a 'certified' tree detailer once you have done that module...

I'm no chainsaw expert (using one) but I am a 2 stroke expert. The biggest tip for anyone using 2 stroke tools is... If you are not going to use it for more than a few days empty it of fuel, not just the tank but especially the carb, run it dry!! 90% of the repairs I do on 2 stoke tools is knackered carbs because old fuel has been left in them.

I think you did great. I’m glad you’re a planner and you take your time. It’s fun and exciting to watch “a day in the life of Tim The Lawn Mower Man” 😂🇺🇸👍🏼

Bought this exact one not long ago, i keep the chain sharp with the ozito chain sharpener and its been unstoppable!

Good job. Brb - going to Bunnings. 😂

Nice job on that tree! I kind of liked it myself, all white and spooky looking.

I learned how to fell a tree and so much more from my granddad, and the things he drilled into my head were; keep the chain sharp, and Oil, Oil, Oil. Whether in the mixing with it and fuel or just the need to keep the machine/chain oiled, I have always made sure my chainsaws are lubricated, sharp, and tightened correctly. If you haven’t put any sort of pesticide on the termites, you can absolutely burn them in a fire pit. If no pesticides, and the infestation is no longer in the wood, you can burn inside. Your chooks may like a piece of that trunk if they don’t already have one or there is room for another. I really like your adventurous spirit, and hope that chainsaw lasts longer than I expect it will. #Husqvarna ☺

Stump is a good excuse to get the excavator 😁

I was so nervous the first time I used a petrol chainsaw, I am happy to say I am a big girl now and alot more confident. I could tell by the end of the video u were alot more relaxed using urs. Yay nicely done Tim.

Well done Tim! You handled that task like an expert, glad it turned out and you are safe. You are learning and we are learning as well. You will now need an excavator for that stump, another learning experience. Love the content. Stay safe. Love from AZ ❤

The only thing I have heard from the guys who use chain saws a lot around here where I live (there are quite a lot since we live in the mountains with a lot of forest around), is never become too confident with them. Always be cautious and afraid. When you let your guard down that's when accidents can happen. I think you did all the right things from what I've seen of people cutting down a tree. Safety first!! Good job!

I would’ve put your notch down the bottom now, mate a little lower so it’s like more to the ground. I’ve got plenty of trees down with a made of mind. It’s an arborist and you’ve always gotta watch out for one of those trees or any tree. That’s fairly big they can give you a barbecue which can take your head straight clean off, but you’re doing okay so far. 👍🏻🇦🇺🍺🍺

I have always found that when cutting up trees etc like that to keep in mind the intended use for the blocks. Its much easier to cut the blocks to a size that are easier to handle/lift when its still has a firm counter weight.

Ozito chainsaw cutting stand if well worth the $50. Saves your back. Also, you should get a hydraulic log splitter as some of those logs are to big for a firepit. Nicely done Tim.

Big fan of morrison have a brush cutter that I have had for over 10years use mostly ever week as a weedeater run it on guess the petrol and 2stroke mix also don't know where the air filter has been for the whole time I have had it just run it and I can't kill it 🤣 had a morrison mower for 9years deck finely rotted out so pulled the briggs off it as a spare for my new mower

I’ve been reading all the comments, some have been good advice. Another successful task. I can’t give any advice, but I enjoy watching and learning. I laughed because Wee-Wee left a comment and I remember that name from live shows.🙂 Way to go Tim.

Only thing I'd say is always try to run the spikes against the cut to mitigate kickback.

You did OK for your first go .. Only thing be careful of hard leaners like this tree .. They can Barberchair and that can be Deadly . A bore cut is a much better technique for them .. Much Safer .. Also ..Burning termite wood is completely fine ..As long as you have not had treatment on the wood to get rid of the termite.. And one last thing .. There does seem to be way to much oil in the mix ..Most saws now run at 50 to 1 .. Just check the manual to confirm..

Chainsaw cutting stand, ForestWest have a couple of decent options for up to 11 inch diameter wood

Well done Tim 🎉🎉🎉

Excellent video. Speedy chainsawing is pretty cool too. Nice job done 😊😊

Re the 'sawhorse for firewood', the easiest way, is to get two identical pallets, remove a couple of the small cross timbers so they will interlace and put several bolts/screws at the cross point. It may also need a few bits of rope across the bottom to keep it in the X shape. If you do it right, it will also fold up flat when not in use. Being essentially free, you can make another in a few years, after you've inevitably damaged it too much.

Looks like you did a good job and was careful too.

The rotten tree was definitely risky for a first attempt. You did a perfect cut though. The fact it was leaning also made it more risky.

Did well mate you might be able to use those thick logs as a feature if you decide to put a garden where the tree was. Either a excavator or stump grinder will sort out that tree stump.

You're a wiz at working things out😊

The cutting rack is generally known as a sawbuck. I made mine around 20 years ago from some old 2"x4" lumber I had around. A quick Google search will present designs.

Seemed to go pretty easy for you like it that you take safety precautions when doing those kind of jobs

You did good for not ever using a chain saw. Way to go.

Number 1 tip, more power baby Actual genuine tip, when you have a large log sitting supported at both ends in the air and you're bucking up rounds, come in from underneath first and go like 80-90% of the way through the log.. make all the cuts the whole length of the log and then you can come along at the end and just nip the top 10% of each cut that remains... that way you only move the log once to first support it and you're never getting pinched or cutting into the ground.

Nice one Tim, u did a good job for an novice. 👌😎✌️

Everyone gets their bar pinched eventually Tim , it's good to have some felling wedges nearby to get unstuck .

Good job for your first go. I was nervous for you lol. You will be a pro before you know it. 😊

Cut slow, run fast! 😂

Have a look at a Forestwest Log Stand, especially good if you have a lot of longer pieces that are roughly the same diameter. Just slide one end of the log into the jaws, and then lift up the other end and the teeth ‘ratchet’ on the log. Last cut right near the stand will leave about a 400mm log (if you haven’t jammed to much of the log into the end).

The wood block used to carry the stump is better served not to support the piece of wood to be cut off so when cut it falls not to pint blade

As a Lumberjack, Tim you make a great Pizza maker. 😂😂😂

Was crossing my fingers while watching this move

Done well for first time tim. 25:1 will probably make the spark plug oil up over time and she will start becoming hard to start. Fibre cable seems like massive overkill for the chicken coop but i guess you do have the geo-trencher to put to work. A wireless link from ubiquiti/unifi would be easier and work just as well.

No trouble with burning wood that was / is home to termites. The danger is felling the tree and cutting up the wood with the saw… unless like yours it’s on a lean you can’t be sure it will fall where you want WHEN you want and you said it yourself chains don’t like dirt, termite trees are normally full of dirt

Wow that saw did pretty good haha

Well done Tim good job 👍 😅

Need to invest in a log splitter Tim, get next years logs in the dry

Don't saw back and forth; let the chainsaw do the cutting. Good safety awareness making sure of your escape route.

Nice job. Not bad for an inexpensive saw. Only time will tell how well it'll hold up. Nice self-splitting wood too. I wouldn't take it in the house if termites are live in it, but it'd be great for a fire pit. If you are sure the termites are all dead/gone you're good to go. I love Eucalyptus firewood. It burns hot and it burns a long time. Nice scent too.

Make sure your body is not inline with the chainsaws body. If the chainsaw kickback, it could cause a body injury. When you max out the chain tensioner the chain should be replaced.

Did good Timmo 👍👍👍

I saw on TikTok, if get barrel put over the stump and burn stuff on top on the stump that it will burn all up. Could interesting way to get rid of it.

My 2-bobs worth Tim..... Firstly, being a huge 7ft tall man 😂, you need to watch your back when chainsawing. Let the saw do the work by pivoting off the dogs. Secondly, the saw isn't a bread and butter knife, so no need to pull it in and out... again, pivot off dogs. Lastly... i think you have found the perfect location for an open fire pit.... burn stumps in situ.

Awesome first time using the big chainsaw, Tim. I've been around chainsaws most of my life and they still scare the bejeesus out of me. I was a bit nervous for you. I'll stick to my 6' battery model...safer for everybody hehe. Don't you also have a dead tree near the chicken coop? Will you be taking that down too? Love the video!🥰❤

Happy to see you with more PPE, but you might consider protecting your legs and forearms, too. Look at chaps and pants designed for chainsaw protection. You did pretty well for a first timer, but a sawhorse will protect your back when you are bucking up those logs. I wouldn’t take any bug infested wood into your house. You need a fire pit at your new place (assuming you are allowed to burn outdoors). You might be better off hiring a stump grinder than trying to pull that stump out. That would make an interesting video.

Good video and review Tim. Question was the helmet more expensive than the chainsaw?

This'll be interesting. Hope you aren't playing arborist without an assistant, someone has to call the ambulance which will arrive eventually. Ooh, new toy..a stump grinder. Burn away, Timmow. You just get crispy termites.

Ah I wouldn't be taking termite infested timber anywhere near your house. They fly.

Have you had much more use of the Morrison since this video? I bought one to cut up some similar sized trees to this and it will no longer start after half a day of use.

Hey Tim. My tip for chainsawing is to avoid touching the dirt with the chain ( be careful how low to the soil u cut it ) This is the fastest way to blunt a normal chain. Titanium chains are better are not getting blunt as easily

Find out how to fire explode that stump.

I thought you were a fire fighter? Shouldn't you be trained with chainsaws?

Do you know Helen the mowing Queen

Strange how that bunnings chainsaw u needed to assemble it? I bought a Ryobi 18 inch chainsaw from bunnings already assembled

1:52 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hi Tim. Did you know that the chainsaw’s intentional use was for human childbirth? Scary stuff but true xx

Ahoj Time! Jaký máš pocit před spuštěním úplně nového přístroje. Já bych měla nervy v háji 😅? 🌿Jana 🌿🌹

Mines not starting??? Fresh out the box like this video. I did try starting it at first with the switch off not realising Because it’s very badly labeled. Any advice to get it to kick? Maybe it’s not receiving fuel?

You can burn termite infested wood in a fireplace, if you have not treated it with insecticides. When burning insecticides, toxic fumes can be released.

Dead trees are habitat for birds fauna and reptiles. Is the tree a safety hazard or near buildings ?

Burn the stump out and not a fan of cheap chainsaws

morrison and jonsered are garbage

I have watched nearly every one of your videos on both of your channels, I cannot believe you removed my comment Overly sensitive it seems you are, cannot handle a tiny bit of criticism, “ the tree had such a lean, definitely did not need a notch in it” Just pathetic
