Top handle saw use on the ground

[Marc Lewis]

I was always impressed by the power and get up and go of the saw . just dissapointed by the fragility . This is no longer an issue ...

 

Yes, but it looks like stihl have now caught up with the power, with the new 201tcm.

For years I acted as an occasional groundie for a friend. After getting into forums and watching youtube vids I realised just how dangerous some of the guy's working habit were...the more I learned the more I freaked out..gradually did less and less with him, as I didn't want to be the one to witness him come a cropper.

 

He would cut stuff on the ground 2-4" by clutching it with left hand and cut it with his top-handle, then cut into four foot lengths - like a human timberjack machine - then sned the lengths by holding them at arms reach near the end, with the most of the stick dangling down, and just run the flat of the bar up and down the stick, while twisting it.

 

Spinning chain would get to within six inches of his fingers - no lie.
