short bars cut faster in a hardwood personally I run long as is recommended so I don't have to lean or bend over as much

big bit of iron to cut around. Short bars means less teeth to sharpen. Just might be more metal in the trees here. My big bar is 36" and there is maybe 6 times over 15 yrs it didn't tip the tip. I want a double ended bar and run two 660's for hedging of course :lol:

Difficult even with something as tenacious as elm. Beavers do it. I prefer to spend less time in the hole and use the persuader aka RK or wedge or jack

They messed up on routing and base tie

Rope is routed through a tree behind the intended fell. They actually pulled the tree on to the house.

It's obvious he is new. Definitely needs a mentor. Should invite him here.

Did a Sugar very similar situation recently and had to dice up one section but the other section called for the 660 very fast and decisive cuts. Butt heavy or tip heavy your call was not there but I sure do love me the fracturing splintering wood. Pretty awesome and thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

Cold day for a hazard removal. Very little movement due to the frozen wood/rot at that main fork. I will be saving all my high hazard trees for winter if they can wait. https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=747105931967340&set=vb.100000038208052&type=2&theater and another you will notice lil...

:thumbup: Cheers

When I can I get the HO on the rope to pull the stick over. Funny to see there chests puff out with accomplishment. Leave a good bit of hinge to let them feel what its like to have a rope hand cramp. Shhh.

660 revs, flyin chips, flyin hihg and fallin wood , either way I enjoy it and will hope to do it for another 10yrs knock on wood

I just want to make it clear all things being equal. stand on the ground and wield the saw opposed to being spurred, roped and lanyard in. Sorry for not being more specific. I know the stress in the arms, shoulders and back and legs is what it is but being locked/braced into the tree seems to...

:big-guitar: I agree heavy and awkward

I think you missed my point. All things being equal it will be easier for me. Spur,rope and lanyard helps create amazing leverage. for pushing/pulling off cookies and tops and handling saws. Lowr body is locked in place. Much like sittin in the weight machine doin presses or pull down etc. Am I...

Never had 880 in a tree 660 plenty but if the man can handle it why not. Besides throwin a saw around in the tree always seems easier than on the ground. imo Spurred. lanyard and tied in gives you plenty more leverage.
