Robert! I use a chainsaw with a 15 inch bar. It is easy to handle, not being
too heavy,
and will cut some pretty decent- sized timber.
One of the problems I had when I bought it was that the compression was just
too strong
for me. I just couldn't start the blasted thing, but after I had taken it to
the repair
shop when, someone, not me, had burnt the clutch out, I found that the
serviceman, when
replacing it, must have done something as I had no more trouble starting the
motor: a
couple of yanks on the cord, and she burst into life.
If you are cutting up timber that is lying on the ground, lift one end and rest
it on
something so that when you break through, the chain won't hit the ground.
Nothing will
dull a chain quicker than sawing up mother Earth.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Chain saws
I am renting an old farm house and the land Lord does not mind if I clear
and cut up some of the old dead wood that is laying around here, not to
mention that there is a few small trees growing up within inches of the hous
and the garage that really need to be taken out.
I am looking to get a chain saw for just such a task. Probably the largest
branch or tree trunk that I will ever need to cut out here would be no
bigger around than say the size of an average sized man.
any features I should look for as far as being Cy, oh, I mean blind
friendly if in fact that is even an issue?
I might assume that being blind would make no real differance in choosing a
saw but I an not sure on that.
Two things to deep in mind here
1. I am a cheep basterd
2. I do need one that I can count on to do the job safely and afectivelly.
