Popped into chainsaw shop, farmer type in there with this saw. Had to get a snap of this unique guide bar cover.
 
A classic “fabrication maison”
 
 

He'll have saved a pretty penny there mick, mustn't scoff

I wasn’t scoffing or sneering I assure you, I thought it was great and worth sharing.

More trees on houses, Using a throw saw a lot, its been awesome, reducing the end weight significantly before climbing (if necessary). all but the big spruce, after removing as much as possible, sat up a few inches from the roof. The big spruce needed the hilux and a 3-1 system to pull it up off the house.

Last job, hung up pine, ended up tipp rigging it from the aspen, cutting at the bottom over the fence. Biggest praise there goes to the aspen for holding a tree bigger than itself!

 

All the jobs have been going incredibly smoothly

What's a throw saw?

[Mick Dempsey]

I wondered that, guessed at a power pruner/polesaw/gypsy stick.

[josharb87]

A throw line, with a special chainsaw chain in the middle with alternating facing pairs of cutters.

Also good for hung up trees or trees on power lines. Can even cut through if the compression is on the top side, it doesn’t jam.

 

you'll be very sceptical to it until you try it, then it’s a great tool to have.
