Thumbs up How Saws Have Changed!

You haven't used a heavy chainsaw unless you were cutting trees with a rented saw in 1960...

Those things were like using a 25HP outboard motor to cut trees!

I'm very happy with my Greenworks battery saw, and have left the bigger trees to the professionals.

You're in luck when you've got a McCulloch chain saw! I think that was an ad. It came into my head when I saw that name.
