Dropping an Old Dead Tree

Welcome to The Chainsaw Shop! Chainsaw maintenance tips and videos can be found here.

Here’s a video of a 70 year old man cutting down an old tree. His methods are a little scary.

Using a 1974, 34 year old, Homelite chainsaw (Gear drive Super Wiz 80) with a 36 inch bar, my brother in law Ike Adreon (70 years old) shows how to use it.

It was more work than I thought, considering the weight of the chainsaw being somewhere around 30 Lbs. too!

The sawing of the fallen tree, plus loading it all up, and hauling it away also was a tremendous amount of work for us…..
