How many here limb trees felled on ground carry saw when limbing instead of letting it sit on trunk?
Do any of you use the thumb/indexfinger loop to run handle thru?

I usually just limb with the saw that I felled the tree with. Lately that's a 545 with an 18" bar sometimes a 372 with a 24" depending on how big the tree was.

Some of us work in hardwoods, Magnus.

I don't really slide my saw that much, but when I can, I do. One form of ergonomic use or another. I don't recall ever 'thumbing' the trigger during limbing, only felling.

I cut hard wood as well before. They had branches all around trunk as any other tree so the maneuvering of saw was about the same, just less frequent. I had saw on trunk when possible in hard wood as well.

Try it. A lot easier on wrist and you get a better and safer grip holding saw with horizontal cuts.

And stumping.

I thumb throttle when bar is horizontal regardless of what it do.
