Dear Scott:
I have found that Husqvarna and Stihl are the most reliable and my new
Stihl has become my favorite, as it has a starting system that allows old
codgers, like yours truly, to start the saw without having to strain the old
muscles. Husqvarna also has a model which provides a method for easy start.
I also agree with my Canadian friend, as I like to use my bow saw for small
jobs. The only problem with my bow saw is that I seem to get cut more often
when using it than when I use one of my power saws. I suppose that has to do
with my trying to be super careful with a power saw.
I would suggest that you saw the tree at first about two feet from the
ground, so that you can guide the fall while standing, as it is easier to make
an exit while standing. I assume that you will then wish to cut the stump as
close to level with the ground as possible, which can be easily accomplished
from a seated position.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] chain saw
Hello there,
I have some trees which are approximately 12 to 14 feet and 3 inches in
diameter. These are wild plumb trees. What type and make of chain saw do
you recommend.
