This is the tree.
That looks rather straight forward. Still, sometimes you need a good reason to buy a bigger saw. This looks like a good reason.

7900 is one of my favorites, but he has a saw in the 590 that filles the middle weigh spot well, so I would go big.[emoji106]I haven't played with any of the upper CC saws that are out now and the biggest I have personally had is a ported 046. However strictly from an on paper stat's and what little bit I have read about them I would personally be trying see if there was a place close to me that I could put my hands on a Makita 7900. Everyone one is different on what they like.
The 590 has the weight of a 70 to 80cc saw, with a bit less power, so I'd personally jump to 90cc saw and be done with it. I see it much like skipping a 60cc saw and going to a 70cc, if you already have a good 50cc. The 7900 while quite powerful, is really limited to what most 70cc saws can do, because of the oiler, clutch, AV.From 59 to 79cc? I consider an 80cc saw higher than mid range.

True.Yep, everyone has a different way of looking at it.
I hear you loud and clear, the 7900 is my go to. The true big saws are nice for bucking though, as all the weight is on the log, I'm not the biggest guy and getting broken down, so swinging a big saw around isn't as easy as it once was. I have to say with a 28" or 32" you can do a lot of work upright, the reach can be nice.There is a 390 listed for sale in the forums. New. May be the right saw for him. I look at weight mainly and a saw that can be used a lot and that put the 7900 in my sights, a bigger/younger guy may not have that issue.
I will ck it out thanks
You're trying to talk someone out of buying a new saw? Blasphemy[emoji5]Is this the only large tree you plan to cut? Or will there be others in the future?
IF this is the only one, just hire someone to fall if and do the cleanup with your saw and a 24” bar.
