What happens here

The presenter then processes the fallen tree trunks into manageable lengths for firewood. He demonstrates a safe and efficient bucking technique: cutting approximately two-thirds of the way through the top of the log, then rolling the log over and completing the cut from the underside. This method prevents the chainsaw from digging into the dirt, which quickly dulls the chain, and helps avoid pinching the bar. He emphasizes the importance of keeping the chain out of the dirt to maintain sharpness.

Goal: Process felled trees into firewood-sized logs using safe and efficient cutting methods.

and we also stopped using the red max fuel and we think that also contributed to the chainsaws running better but I'm just gonna let you listen to it right now [Music] the feel in your hands of this red max is my dad used to say it's like driving a Cadillac to me it's just smooth like butter I love these red max's braking on the other hand he's not as sold on the diet [Music] the balance and handling even on a big chainsaw like this it's really actually nimble and well balanced I don't know what else to say about it [Music] so we're gonna get this tree cut up and cleaned up then we're gonna head back out into the field where that beaver dropped the tree across the road we're gonna let you listen to one of the other chainsaws that is slightly out of tune you're gonna see a noticeable decrease in performance but it's not something that you have to live with or even bring back to the shop we're gonna show you how right out in the field you can tune it up and get that thing humming like it's supposed to be [Music]
