Got some trees and logs to cut down and up and bought this for the price of a days rental. Game on.

Aye but the rental comes with the required safety gear - or at least theydo from my local....
Aye, get some bits of safety gear...
Got my first this week. Got through 2 chains already! Mind you the two 6" trunks hid 24" diameter roots. Bloody amazing. Sharpening is bloody tedious! Can see the addictive power of this machine though.
As above, wouldn't touch my chain saw without wearing all the gear.
Aye, get some bits of safety gear
Add to the list, some proper training on how to use a chainsaw too.
CS30&31 is only £750 for a five day course.
😉
Dunno its a skill passed down in my family. Father to son. you dont need tickets if your not cutting on public land or for money
But if you dont have that font of knowledge availible some training would be good
I have a couple (one borrowed) limb removers and wood cutting machines, otherwise known as chainsaws, read up and view some of the excellent safety vids on you tube. I got some protective kit
like that and a log horse

a quote that stuck in my mind was the words
"there is no such thing as a minor chainsaw accident"
a friends neighbour managed to remove 2 fingers using a bow saw which must of smarted a bit
They are great tools and make cutting wood so easy and fun but are very scary as well but safe if used correctly and with respect.
Have fun and be safe
Last one for me 😉
Don't for a second think about climbing, using ladders, or ropes to take down a tree, if you need any of the above, get a pro in.
Thats it for me, back to Disneyland, Small World post for me 😉
edit- I have four mature walnut trees to down in 12 hours time, anyone want some turning wood?
got any burrs on em? where are you, too far for me, we don't have walnut up here, west yorks
are you in the west country SKi or near?
Thanks for the tips. Safety gear is the next purchase. Maybe should have been the first....
We have had a bout of break ins round our way, scallies after car keys. Im wondering if coming down stairs with a chainsaw would be classed as self defence?
Never heard of them.
Ski - I know a man in Cornwall interested in small lumps, or one in Wales if it is millable.
Sorry for the late reply, I am based in Worcester, no mega burrs spotted, but will get a closer look today 😉
Ski, I'd like some as well if they're reasonable lengths please. ( and the line of people waiting outside your house isn't too long). 2 foot type lengths is what I'd really be grateful for. Failing that how about becoming your wholesaler/agent?
