A better way to sharpen a chainsaw..and a farmer's Husqvarna chainsaw review

What happens here

Approach the pecan tree while the chainsaw is running. Make an initial notch cut on the side where the tree is intended to fall. Then, make a back cut on the opposite side, slightly above the notch. Due to windy conditions, use a felling axe and wedges to assist in pushing the tree in the desired direction. Step away once the tree begins to fall, ensuring a safe distance. The tree falls successfully in the intended direction.

Goal: Safely cut down a pecan tree, guiding its fall with precision.
