Cut five decent sized Balsam Fir trees today. Limbed them on the south side as high as I could reach with the powered and manual pole saw to help fall them in the right direction. The second and third tree pinched my 460 and I had to finish the job with the MS150. I made my felling cuts a bit differently today and tried the bore cut. My felling cuts were much flatter using the bore cut, but with my wife putting tension on the trunk with the felling winch the tree wanted to pinch my bar. The third tree also had a ton of sweep and spun while coming off the trunk and landed right onto the bar of my 460. I don't usually post pics when I fell trees, I just don't have that kind of time, but today was exciting since the trees were 20-35' from the house/power lines!
I'm thinking about replacing the bent 20" bar on the 460 with a 16-18" bar. I have a spare 24" bar and chain for the big trees, so I'm leaning 16", which would also make this boat anchor a bit more user friendly.
