    Hi we have been asked to remove 2 trees, both trees at some point have suffered from windblow and the larger one has more of a lean than the smaller one, the bigger tree 38" diameter is the worst of the 2 but is slightly hung up in the smaller one, which tree first and how would you go about this ? what cut would you use ? what would be the proceedure and how long should i allow for this, timber left in 6ft lengths and brash chipped,

    What do you class as a large bar thou ? my thoughts are 661 is a proven saw been out there several years now and i dont hear many complaints about them, will run a 36" bar and proberbly a bit more robust than a 500i ? Guy who works with me had a go with a 500i last week end at a collage open day and said it was a very impressive saw and was up for buying one, till he took the airfillter cover off and saw all the wireing, he then suddenly changed his mind and said he just saw problems ahead, Ok its got a very good write up and has been out in europe for a while but for me it would be 661 all the way,
