It’s the angle and the lighting. This is what I look like normally.

I used to wander around the woods with a machete or a hatchet. That thing makes short work of climbing vines and briars. My wife thrives on taking the most unflattering pics of me. Not that she has to put much effort into it.

Would the non mtronic version be any cheaper? The stihl website only lists the price for the CM.

He's been on there for at least a year. He cycles the same ads every week bringing them to the top of of my "Stihl" search sorted by newest. Either he's never sold one or he never runs out. His pictures never change.

Plan C: Let the beavers do it and hopefully they'll get crushed in the process. Win-win. Merry Christmas y'all.

the saga continues... After finally realizing I was way over my head, I decided to start at the top. My neighbor and I have been cutting and collecting firewood working our way toward the base. Here is my thrill seeking daughter tempting fate. I think the main tree has settled down into the...

Free at last, free at last, thank Stihl so tiny, we are free at last. Lesson 1: Compression - learned. We will see how long I retain the knowledge.

I had intended just to clean up some trails today so it was the only saw I had with me. The whole point was to try some techniques so I thought the half scale saw would be ok. At my current experience level, anything I had in my hand was going to get stuck.

I figured I would provide an update for you alls' amusement. After reading all of the replies, I thought I would attempt to go after the larger tree at the bottom of the photos and see if I could roll back the root ball and return the upper tree to the upright. I figured I would cut a small...

I ordered a KM130 from my local dealer last week. When I went to pick it up, it was a Km131. At first, I was not happy. I got to use it with the articulating hedger. Now I am sold. I was told the motor is the same. The choke is on the unit, not the trigger grip housing. There is only a stop...

Just to clarify. When I originally started this thread, The "tree" referred to in the title was the hitchhiker, not the larger one that caused the root ball to begin with. I was content to leave the big one where he was. But now y'all done gone and put a notion in my head that I may be able...

That is the exact model I have. I was using it to keep the "roads" clear on the property. "Roads" being glorified 4-wheeler trails. I ended up abandoning it for a chainsaw because taking a little off the top with the polesaw was a constant battle. The chainsaw took care of it for the season.

I had initially thought I would leave the large tree where it lay and use it as a bridge across the creek. The pole saw would be used just to remove the sword of Damocles suspended above it. After I get it out of the way, I may try to upright the root ball. Thanks for all of the advice.

It's pretty much canopy free. My first thought was to take a shovel and remove the dirt and cut roots as I went on the back side of the dirt ball. I then thought about the whole thing upending on top of me - instant grave. Thanks to you guys, I am now seeing a proper path.

The small end of the little tree is about 25 feet in the air. If I can polesaw the little guy out of the equation, can I reverse the big one back into the hole? By that I mean cut a wedge facing downward torward the creek. Then plunge cut or just start at the top and create the hinge? Like I...

I have a extendable pole saw. That is a fantastic idea. Then I can go after big boy. He's sunk in pretty deep but I've always wanted an Alaskan saw mill. I'll just cut until the dirt line.

Hello, I've been lurking for a while and now have a situation that has me a bit stumped (sorry, it just came out that way). We recently had 13 inches of rain and it flooded some creeks on our property. A huge tree came down across a creek and the root ball brought another with it-about 15...
