Nothing unusual there mate, you can do that with any chainsaw with caution. I used to work on inland waterways and we did that all the time. Ecspecially in '87 clearing up after the storm.

oh right with great caution, wouldn't want water going in the intake!

yep...done that myself a couple of times cutting trees out of rivers..... dont stand behind the saw !

You can get underwater chainsaws that work off of air lines I believe, I think divers use them.

Yes mate when i was 10, i was driving the excavator pulling the trees out of the canal while my old man and his team mate were cutting them into chunks from the work boat. I had two weeks off school while the power was off...have subsequently done it alot myself...

I first drove a long reach Hymac when i was 8, must dig the pics out...that was solo. Was messing around with most machines sitting on my Dad's lap way before that as well. Glad to see my son is following on in my footsteps as well...he can drive a tractor no bother now and front end loader with guidance. He's 8 on Friday. Different times now, i used to go to work with my Dad all the time but HSE would anihalate (sp) you now !
