Loving these ideas it's gotta be functional though lol practicalities the main idea ofcourse this is comin from a guy that's mounting a 20hp Vtwin to a 20" push mower [emoji41] [emoji85]

Brigg kohler or tecumseh

A top handle saw was designed to be run one handed, the reason they say use 2 is for liability. With 18 years in tree service I've said it before and i'll say it again Stihl makes the best top handle saw period. Yes some other make nice saws too but day in, day out commercial use, durability, quality, and performance Stihl wins hands down. The new 201T's are a lot better than the first bunch.

201 has some potential id like to mess with one over the weekend and se what it could do stock. Then mm. Then some more breathing work

Just potential? [emoji1]

Echo 355T, Husky T540xp, and a Stihl 201T that has potential. All have brand new Oregon VXL and the wood is black locust.

Anyone else have any vids of there top handle saw in 10 inch or bigger wood?

I really like my Impossible to kick chain on my efco and I can't help but think that's part of the problem but It still boils back down to I don't think it'd have the power to turn a more aggressive chain
