Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm going to use 225i for the same reasons in the forest or park. Thats why is interesting how you fixing this saw to the bike.
The stock bar that comes with the Husqvarna is a 14 inch. To put it into perspective I’d say that tree diameter was about 13 inches at the widest cut and the little saw handled it fine. As you can see in the video that tree was extremely waterlogged and tough at best. Thanks for watching.
To a degree, there is some modulation on “throttle”. Part two of your question… none whatsoever. It’s a well built and very capable saw if you let it do the work. It’s not a Stihl 460/660/880. Thanks.
