I know what you are saying.... I used my 026 for a lot of years and cut up a lot of wood with that little bugger. just have to take your time and go at it from both sides. I think concretegrazer was joking in his comment above.
I wouldnt bother to cut a big log that required me to cut from both sides with my 241 , if i cut big wood i use a big saw..but anymore if i cant pick it up to load it i dont bother with it
