I had a limb of a large windblown oak hung up in a neighbouring young ash tree, a fork on the oak had jammed against the ash about 5ft off the ground.

I started to try and cut the fork with a husky 60 so the oak would slide to the ground but I managed to well and truly jam the bar.

I went back to the truck to get my little Stihl and when I got back I found that the fork had split, the oak had slid to the ground and in the process had dragged the bar of the husky round the ash, putting a 90° bend in the bar.

Anyone want to cut around corners???

Lent my 395 to my mate and watched him fell a massive ash . as it went over it pivoted on the stump taking the saw out of his hands . the bar tip rested on the stump  with the power head on the ground and the stem rolled over it putting a similar 90 degree bend in a 36" bar !

Inside the stump we found Stag Beetle grubs !

Seen a 066 do the same thing to one of the lads i used to work with,kicked back in a bore cut and the handle jabbed him in the gentlemans area...

It was fookn brilliant!

Ive been lucky so far only pinched one saw that wouldnt budge but had to take the power unit off and go get another bar and chain...

i had the same with my 661, but was cutting disks off an ash stump with a 36 inch, dont know what happened but eh saw snatched so hard i caught my trigger finger on what may have been the on off switch and opened it right up, pissing blood everywhere at the time i had a heart attack thought id made contact with the chain aha

I know an old guy he had a pinch in a medium  rotting oak tree and instead of pulling the saw out of the pinch he pushed it in and got stuck,

Roll on a year later the power head was still attached to the bar buried in the tree, the old boy was too ashamed to ask for help

Got a little mitox 40 cc saw stuck in a wind blown alder at the edge of the river in my garden, in the process of cutting it out with a hand saw, I only had the mitox at the time, I dropped the mitox in the in river. Sadly my wife was a witness and has never stopped telling people.
