    Nice to see some people who actually know what they’re doing for a change on KZread. I see you do things the old way as I was taught by my dad grandfather and great grandfather all who where timber fallers in California in the Eldorado county area for 4 generations my family logged the area up until the 2000s when my cousin quit the woods because of all the political bs and illegal immigrants illegally working taking jobs from American citizens. We have since left California for Missouri and they don’t log the same hear for some odd reason they love to bore cut everything. So it’s good seeing some people who still do things like they are supposed to be done.

    @@w8stral I agree. Why work harder than you need to and make more work for yourself. Using a longer bar making fewer cuts and only making a plunge cut when you have to makes more sense. I only use a smaller saw when it makes sense to for example cutting the tops and limbing trees because they don’t throw the chains as easily in thicker brush especially manzanita and live oaks . It made lots more sense when I was cutting and splitting firewood for people. I saved the big saws for larger wood saving the chain and wear and tear on the bigger saws. A smaller saw is easier for smaller wood and falling smaller trees up to 1 foot across anything larger I used the bigger saws to make it easier for me. Faster cutting less bending down. My 14 inch sthil 250 is perfect for tops limbs brush and small stuff. My 18 inch saw was the workhorse though it was lightweight fast cutting and the perfect size for the wood I was cutting at the time most of it was small oaks only a foot across. I saved my 20 inch and 36 inch for the larger trees after I had cut up the tops and limb wood. It was even more efficient for 2 cutters one cutting the tops and limbs while the other was cutting the main trunk or trunks . Or in some cases one falling trees with the big saw and the other clearing the tops and limbs to get them out of the roadway then both cutting up the trees after they were cleared off the road. We could cut up to 20 plus 1-3 foot oaks that way . When I say 1-3 that’s across the stump not how tall they are in feet .

    Your comparing apples to oranges hardwood timber in the midwest and east will barber chair if you try to cut like the west coast,they usally have lean and any damage or fiber pulls to the butt log will bring a big deduct. The only way to prevent this is to bore cut, some species like the tulip poplar tends to grow straight up and reacts more like softwood so the smaller ones can be cut without boring but most fallers around here bore cut.

    @@danrobsonjr247 It won't work out here the value is in the butt log and good oak walnut cherry is very valuable and it splits easily the tension in the tree will usually beat the saw,that being said I had a Stihl 084 and if it didn't lean too bad it would cut fast enough the problem was control almost all timber sales are a select cut and they expect the logger to do as little damage as possible. The worst is probably white oak a good log goes for veneer and it's very valuable so you can't afford to take any chances it must be a clean cut off the stump or at best it will pull fiber from the log or worst case split as it starts to fall and barber chair or bust in half very dangerous and costing thousands$.

    @jay robert The 460 and 460 are oldschool 77cc saws. The 462 is 71ccs just like the old 044/440/441. It’s a smaller displacement strato saw which flies at high rpm like Gordy said. If it’s going to spend it’s entire life in big wood fitted with a 36” the 046/460/461 is a better choice. More torque = grunt when pulling a lot of cutters through a lot of wood.
