When you are trimming branchs..even an electric will work. Which is
why arborists tend to keep trimming saws on hand. But they dont cut
trees worth a ****.

Now you can have a saw you can trim with..or a saw you can trim with
AND cut down a tree. If you can afford only one..which will it be?

I cut down about 12" thick tree with an electric chainsaw.


Ive cut down 24"+ trees with a bowsaw, an ax, and a two man cross cut
saw on many occasions.

Does this make any of the above the prefered tools?

Sounds like the preferred tools to have Someone Else(tm) use. Some
Else(tm): greatest labor saving device known to man or woman. Next time
there is a big or messy project, have Someone Else(tm) do it!

Indeed. Also a large Roundtuit is handy, particularly with the bowsaw.
