My colleague's neighbour recently paid a cowboy £500 to take down a small tree in his back garden...... but was then left with a garden full of 6' logs, which we have now inherited for firewood (more hassle than we needed, but the poor fella was in his eighties, and had been taken for a right old ride).
Most of the lengths are only arm thickness, with a few at thigh thickness, but TBH I just don't have the time to tackle them with a bowsaw. So, I got to looking for chainsaws to buy / hire, but got a bit scared when I saw they were offering cut price blood coagulant powder with every purchase (
yes, seriously!).
So, what would you do? I really don't fancy a chainsaw now (I like my arms and legs too much). Am I just being a wuss, or is there another, better alternative that would handle light logging duties for firewood etc? In particular, I was wondering about an
alligator saw, but I wonder how good it would be for cutting wet / green wood?
Don't mind spending a wee bit of cash here if I'm going to get a good tool that'll last a long time. Any opinions folks?
