Never fell a tree before in my life, mostly just scrounge downed hardwoods to help heat the house in the winter. Well call came down from the boss at work that we needed to clear out 28 pines before the end of the week, no time to call for a contractor and no budget. So off I went to the dealer and grabbed a MS362C with a 25" bar and some wedges(all our saws are smaller homeowner, we don't do much if any tree work, only storm cleanup), and went for it as safely as I thought I could. Trees ranged from 8" all the way up past 26" at the biggest across the stump. Area was pretty wide open so a great space to learn with marginal areas of hazard. Went pretty smoothly! No major mess up, one small plastic chair broken was out only casualty. Just one monster left to cut on monday
