Chaps are a good idea with a long chain like that. I don’t like wearing them unless I run into using a big saw like this. Nice saw! It is really throwing some nice rooster tails. I carry a small bucking wedge and an axe when I cut like this.
Yeah the saw is quite impressive did you sharpen the stock chain or change it? It was digging real good, If I had a tree that large and was about to mill some I would be tempted in a three inch thick piece bye ten foot just for a dinner table if the wood is solid, that way you will have a constant memory and talk piece down the road when your eating on it. have fun just subscribed tonight looks like you have great content.
Get a smaller saw for limbing. A big saw will wear you out. You do not want to get fatigued with a big saw in your hands. Honestly, a small saw with a 16 or 18” bar will get the majority of the work done. You should only lean on a big saw for felling and cross-cutting the big stuff. I have a lot of different saws for different tasks, so use the right tool for the job and don’t try to get one saw to do it all.
