When you buck like me wedges come in handy if you use them.

Last April I actually had wedges in my back pocket but didn't use them to prevent this (both saws stuck) nor to extract the saws. I thought the cut were deep enough that the sections would snap off when I lifted the middle section with the tractor for loading. The Stihl end did. The MAC end didn't. I tried to break it off but accidentally hit the ground with the MAC, splitting the case from the bar studs all the way to and through the crank bearing surface. I bought that saw new over 40 years ago. It hurt more than just my pride.

Sorry to hear about your saw. This is why I mentioned early on in this thread “bring wedges” to the OP. Wedges are NOT strictly for falling timber. They come in handy in situations like yours, and OP when bucking a tree/log on uneven ground.
