Hello newbie here... great site. Moving on to 10 acres fully wooded but I do have "some" limited saw experience. I see I have tons to learn. Lets get started.
First question I had a few trees fall down during the recent snow storm we had here and I dispatched the fully fallen (even with the ground) ones with ease. About 10 years ago I had some cheap underpowered saw and dreaded using it. With this saw I feel like the trees are made out of frozen butter. No substitute for a good fast sharp saw, I guess. Anyway.... I have a few trees that fell but are leaning on another tree or two and was wondering the best way to attack the problem.
Secondly, I was wondering if there was a chart or guide so I do not seem so stupid to my wife. Because I said, "I was cutting a pine tree" and after the first cut she said. "Looks like cedar" :taped: Not sure if this will make a difference in her eyes but it would make me feel better to know what I am looking at. For instance we have some very tall smoothed barked white'ish trees that have red buds at the top. Beech?
