But what is your toe doing in the plane of the cut in the first place?
Sore back when cutting

I've been dealing with intermittant back pain for a couple months now when walking around or standing. The pain was like muscle burning from a hard workout. Leaning over and stretching stopped the pain temporarily. Finally realized it was only when I wore jeans with a wide belt. I'm guessing the belt was too tight and cutting off blood supply. Wear elastic shorts all day and no problems. I may try suspenders. Didn't have this problem when I was 20lbs heavier.

In the end there's going to be no right answer. Heck even just with ME there is no right answer for my back.
I don't do much hand bucking, my back can't handle it.
(Compression wedge fracture in 2 vertebrae, 3 herniated discs and partial spinal inpingment from a fall off a roof in 2010. When I said Vicodin I wasn't kidding... heck it's 3am and I'm wide awake, my back is killing me... pretty much every night is like that.)

AGREED, just I cut the logs to 20-30ft and load with a skid steer.
I find by telling my groundsman to do all the cutting on the ground really saves my back from hurting.
Now you are getting wiser.
Yeah, but watching most groundies cut is so painful to watch...
You got that right but a lot of them are capable. I had a pinched nerve in my lower back a few weeks ago and didnt cut but I tell you it was painful to watch the ground help cut.
