Hey all had a few questions for you all on a scenario I hadn't run into before and thought I'd ask the pros how they would have handled it. I sawed up a rather large log of FBE today on my buddies farm and though most of it went pretty well I'm always lookin for ways to make things better. The tree came down in a storm and ripped the roots up. I'd say the first 5 feet of the tree were surrounded by earth 9 or so inches up the radius of about 18" in diameter. The rest was in the air and easy to cut. I brought a shovel and marked my lines and then excavated down underneath the log where the cut would go as best I could. Though this helped out a great deal I still think I hit dirt several times when I came through the cut at the bottom even though I took my time n tried my best not to let it happen. Time to resharpen the saw and damage to the saw and chain are obviously my big concerns. But also time management in terms of what is the fastest saw friendly way to go about a problem like this. What do you all think? thanks in advance,
