I have had to cut a lot of trees down here. I don't try to pull stumps. Too much work. I just cut them off as low as i can go. As far as chainsaws, whatever works. I have had 2 Stihls, but I don't want to be a saw snob!! As to chains, I usually figure a couple hours on a chain. Or whenever the saw starts really lugging. I might change chains 2 or 3 times in a day. A sharp chain is a lot easier on the saw. And safer. The local guy here charges $3 to sharpen a chain, I can usually get 4 or 5 turns out of it. Chains are like any other cutting tool, they are a consumable. I just bought a pair of chaps, always wear a hard hat and steel toe boots, and ear plugs. I generally drop the tree, lop off branches for awhile, then drag the brush off, changing what i am doing every 20 minutes or so, so i use different muscles - and take breaks. Don't get in a hurry and be safe. A saw has absolutely no consciense. Local guy here fell outta a tree with a saw a couple years ago. Lost his arm. Spook has cut a lot more stuff than that guy, and still has all his parts!! BE LIKE SPOOK!!

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
