I once saw someone cutting logs with a Chainsaw wearing shorts and flipflops.
He was French - France the land that H&S forgot...

Back to the point. Stihl do well in the UK but so do Husqvarna, Danarm if you can find one, McCulloch (sp?) While you are at it get the correct sized file to sharpen with and a decent mixing jug for the 2 stroke.
Don't go too big, its a pain to carry , say about 12 to 14" bar is handy and big enough for decent cutting. You have to carry bigger ones Axmen style if you want to carry a 24"er any distance. I suspect you are on private land as the FC go ballistic if they catch you with one. Criminal damage comes to mind. Consider that H&S interference might[i] make it hard to use one with the landowners permission . Liability shite and all that.Posted 1 year ago # -
I find the best way to deal with windblown at work is our 25 ton 360 with 70ft jib and tree shears on the end that or our little 9 ton 360

As others have said I wouldn't tackle windblown unless you are trained.

Yes get trained and get the protective kit. A mate of mine's helping me with some soon cos I've got a few fallen trees and other bits I want taking out. Stihl's are nice and smooth and easy to maintain. Husky's rev higher and cut faster but are a little fiddlier to maintain in my experience. There's probably other cheaper makes out there if it's just for the odd bit of cutting though.

BTW if you buy a saw get a 15" bar which is considered industrial standard and the size you will need to do a NPTC course. And 15" will do practically all the work you need it to do.

A chainsaw wearing shorts and flip flops? Now that's just ridiculous....
