Chainsaw sizing

Stihl. 18" bar is going to be pretty useful

I hope a coconut falls on your head while you clearcut the natural paradise you islandnigger

Ever thought of going used? Probably save you half of new...

You didn't mention anything about the diameter of the trees you're going to take down, so just get something with a 20" bar...

If you've never used a chainsaw before, I highly recommend you just just hire a clearing company to do the work...it'll cost more, but you'll live long enough to complain about the costs...

That is some serious cuck talk m8


Any red blooded male most certainly should gain experience in clearing land and felling trees. Even if they live on Gilligan's island.

you may want to ask on /diy
my feeling has always been you want a bar a few inches longer than the thickest thing you will ever cut and you want that bar to NOT be the longest available for that engine.

The engine is the brain, the bar is the mouth. if your mouth is bigger than your brain you will get yourself in trouble.

Not OP, but I've used a chainsaw a few times and felled a couple trees.

You'd have to try pretty fucking hard to hurt yourself with a chainsaw. With common sense it's pretty easy.

Hire the guy and have him tell you what he wants or he may have his own. I used to be a logger and had 3 of my own chainsaws in my car for every job. Stihl all the way.

This should have been in /diy/. Not sure how I mixed this up.

I reposted it there.

>you'd have to try really fucking hard
no you wouldnt, all it takes is for the chain to catch on something and you'll hands will have an extremely bad time

well this is why you dont try to chain saw engine blocks or heavy chains together. Also your hands are pretty protected, that isn't what usually gets hit by a kick back or snapped chain. Stop posting about shit you don't know anything about.
If you pay attention to where the bar is, you will be fine. Keep your head and much of your body out of the line of the bar.

I live out in the country, have a chainsaw, have used it a good bit including felling trees, cleaning up after hurricanes etc. Never had a issue and once hit a brick inside a tree.

According to a book I read on cutting your own wood for fuel, you don't need a full-length logging bar. Most loggers don't need one.
Stihl, Jonsered, or Hysqvarna.
Don't chop your leg off like a moron.
Watch out where you're felling the fucking tree.

I've seen some accidents where the saw snapped up and the chain got run into face...which was 4chan awesome, but also my father in law...

Bled like a mother fucker getting their head sawed off...

it's usually the falling trees that wreck the professionals, not malfunctioning equipment
