I need to buy a chain saw to take down a tree. The thickest part of the
tree is about 8 inches. Question, is a 12 inch chain saw big enough?

From experience I've had with burn barrows. Empty out the ashes before it
rains, and cover the top with an old piece of plywood or something. If not
the ashes get soaked and it kind of solidifies and the rust factor works
much faster.

Hi max, first of all, what is a buck saw? If it's manual, I don't want it.
Also, I was doing some checking around on the web, and didn't fine anything
gas powered that was smaller than 14 inches. They sure do have a big
selection of electric chain saws. I still don't believe in these

The rule of thumb is: tree diameter shouldn't exceed twice the saws bar length.

Hi, careful though, this one only mesures up to 400 milliamps. If it is not
enough for your job, this is not for you.

I agree with RJ all you need is a buck or bow saw. Unless you had a bunch more
trees to cut.

although I have some circumstances where it would work, 400-MA isn't enough

I am no expert when it comes to chain saws but I do note that 16 inch ones
are very common and would doubt it is worth any small savings in buying
anything smaller. Replacement chains will be far more common and easily
available as well.
What is your objection to a manual saw? A bow saw will

There are clamp amp add ons for DMMs that can give you maybe a 10 to 1

I know Fluke makes them, but I see no reason why one wouldn't work with any

Yes, and if you can find one (they are readily available) get a 55 gallon steel
barrel with a lid that is held on with a latch type ring. You can discard the
snap ring and cover the barrel after burning with the metal lid. This way you
don't have to be absolutely sure the fire is out before

Dale, I'm no young buck, if I had to make one cut, I'd go with one of these

A 12 inch is big enough for the 8 inch tree you have to cut down. If

An 8 inch diameter tree is a lot of tree to put in garbage cans! What kind

Hi
How to Buy a Chain Saw
If you own land, a chain saw can be a great time and money saver. Instead of
using an ax or calling in a landscaper to remove broken tree limbs, bring down
dead trees, or cut firewood -- you can do it yourself.
If you need a chain saw only once, consider a rental. Most

I bought one back in the 1960s made by G.E. the washing system
lasted many years and finally died about 4 years ago.
