I want one!
Borrowed a mate's to cut down a couple of trees over the Chrissy break and damn, they're fun.
Got the chains sharpened and it rips through like a hot knife through butter.
Only gets about two 4 foot diameter tree trunks to the tank though.

It's quite therapeutic ... until the occasion you hear smashing glass as the tree comes down.

Oh yeah I remember being let loose with a chain saw back in my farming days. Not sure if the boss really wanted that many trees down but made a nice lot of logs for the winter!
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

I regularly use a good quality mains powered chain saw. You can't take it into the woods but I use it for slicing up what I can hand cut and lift out into my trailer. You also can't force it into big stuff but if you let it opperate unde its own weight it is pretty effective.
Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

am wondering how you knew her favourite toys were petrol powered.....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

True, but a woman muttering under her breath is never a good sign, just as when a woman says "it's up to you" is it actually up to you in the slightest
