as a harvester operatior i dont really get the fully complexity of full on tree fellin but can u simply use a smaller saw and take more time cuttin into the tree from an angel, i mean the way i see it carrien than thing would just kill u i struggle with an 88 let alone this big boy
My closest neighbor out here in the bush is an old logger. First thing he does when he buys a new saw, he takes the chain brake off, says its for girls only ;-) Guess Stihl thinks the same way: when you buy a 088 Magnum you're man enough not to need the brake. Insane!
