I have my choice of cutting up some just downed trees, pretty wet, in
the next few days, OR, letting them dry for a few months and cutting
them up next spring or summer. There is no problem leaving them where
they are for months. My question is: does a chain saw work better on
dried out wood, or on moist wood? (By better, I mean speed of cutting,
wear on the blades, etc.)

Thanks.


It works best on clean, non-rotting, non-settled into the dirt, wood.
The logs aren't likely to dry out much, so the wet vs. dry isn't a
significant concern.
