This was harder than I thought! Building a new roadway driveway on the farm!
What happens here
Before starting any cutting, prepare all chainsaws by ensuring they are properly fueled and lubricated. This project uses two Husqvarna 460 Rancher chainsaws (an older and a newer model), both fueled with a gasoline and oil mixture, and a separate Husqvarna gas can for bar oil. A Milwaukee Fuel Hatchet, a battery-powered limbing saw, is also prepared. For safety, the operator wears a specialized chainsaw helmet which includes eye protection via a face shield and built-in hearing protection.
Goal: Ensure chainsaws are operational and safety gear is worn.
