I'm curious to know how you guys use these huge chainsaws. Where do you
go to cut wood with these? Do you have wood delivered to cut? What kind
of wood are you cutting?

I just finished removing some Osage from my hedges, and an Oak tree, and
trimmed an Ash tree, a Chinese Elm, a Pine tree and a Black walnut tree.
I harvested the Osage and some of the Chinese elm. I'm not sure if I'm
going to save any of the Oak or Ash, other than as firewood. I split
some of the Osage and stored it in the barn with some other wood I have.
The 2 to 4 foot lengths of Osage logs I put in the barn were all that 2
men could handle easily.

I did it all with a 12" chainsaw. The small chainsaw is light enough
that it is easy to handle with one hand. Every time I gas and oil the
saw, I touch the chain up with the file (3 strokes per tooth on the
small saw, takes no time) and make sure it is properly tensioned. I did
have the advantage of the Versa-lift when I trimmed these trees. I have
to give the chainsaw and the Versa-lift back on Friday. I'm retiring.
So, I'll be in the market for a chainsaw, too.

Here's a link to some pics.
