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.

the green wood is a little easier on the chain. The sap provides *some*
cooling and lube. Also as the wood seasons, it'll get harder. Cut it
now, and it'll dry out faster also. (if it's gonna be firewood)
