Prepare Logs for Controlled Cutting Test

What happens here

To conduct a fair and controlled comparison, Josh prepares two fresh poplar logs of varying diameters. He uses a tape measure to determine their sizes: the smaller log measures approximately 4 inches in diameter, while the larger log is about 8 1/4 inches in diameter. Both logs are made of poplar, a relatively soft wood, to allow for easier cutting. The logs are then carefully positioned on the tailgate of a Kubota utility vehicle, providing a stable and elevated surface for the subsequent cutting tests.

Goal: Create a standardized setup for comparing chainsaw performance on different log sizes.
