Electric would do for this project. I did lot's of ELM with an electric. Also, the retail saws have the anti-kickback chains on them. Professional small engine shops can sell you a "Real" saw chain for it though. :) Apparently they cut a lot faster and last longer. (i've not tried one yet though)

Sounds like good firewood. How big a tree we talking?

Kelly,,,, CLIP YOUR MAN CARD!!! You can't go to the ER from an electric chainsaw. NO danger factor, NO man points. Just hire someone!!

Update: Buffalobo has kindly offered his services to rid me of my tree this Saturday morning. I bought some tree trimming tools from Mazin and put them to use today. I believe Buffalobo is bringing the chainsaw. Should be good times.

Did not expect this to be a real thread. LOL.

She put up a good fight, but Buffalobo and I got it done in 3hrs. Two spade shovel purchases, one broken tow strap (which I plan on replacing for him) and some sweat was all that was needed. I tried to justify buying a new chainsaw, but the wife wasn't to keen on the idea.

Just convince her that a new Stihl is a prepping must. Especially if the apocalypse involves zombies.

If I had remembered the chain it would have saved some digging.[emoji33]
