I figured...elect chainsaws pretty much suck.
heh..mount one on a chain trimmer bar...ya don't hafta getcher feet dirty..:greenchainsaw: :greenchainsaw:
When I worked as a logger for a paper mill (this was 27 years ago) before we got our total tree harvester that would fell, debark, delimb and stack the logs in a bed behind the thing, we were trimming branches off of the trees by hand with chainsaws. We had a company that wanted to sell us what looked like a skidder but it had a huge (very fast) spinning drum on the front to which dozens of 4 ft long pieces of ordinary chain were attached. This thing would simply drive down over the log(s) and the spinning chains would debark and delimb the stick. It basically just smashed/ripped/tore the limbs and bark off the tree. Keep in mind this only worked well for 8-15 inch dia pine, which is most of what we cut for the mill. The thing worked great... but the reason we didn't get it was the stories we heard about it. Once in a while a chain would break free from this spinning drum and depending on what part of the cycle the drum was when it broke, could be a very lethal chunk of metal flying through the woods at very high speed. We heard of a chain breaking off that proceeded to bury itself a foot down into the forest floor. Imagine what it would do to any human being in it's path.
So... I'll stick with my Log Wizard. It uses a lot less fuel than a skidder.
