Stihl 441 with a 20" bar.

If you're cutting into rings in the wood, do your felling cut at a comfortable waist height.

Keep your 'Birdsmouth' really open so the trunk stays attached to the stump.

If the tree has remained attached to the stump, the trunk should be at a slight angle to the floor.

Sned up from base to tip of trunk, then work back toward the base cutting logs.

I'm 6' and the 20" bar means i hardly have to bend down.

Use the top of the bar, and cut upwards so you don't trap the bar on the saw.

As you work towards the butt end the angle will get steeper, but if you've left enough hinge, once you get near the butt the tree comes off the floor and you can cut your logs with the bottom of the bar.

Takes a bit of practice to get the hinges right, but saves your back.

 

Of course, this only works on thinnings upto say 10" but that what we're mainly cutting ATM

 

Hope this helps
