Piston said:I always wondered about these saws and have looked at the vids on Youtube quite a bit. On the videos, it mostly shows people cutting down very 'bushy' softwood trees. It seems these are easily grabbed by the grapple to skid away.
How does this saw work on larger hardwooods? Or even smaller hardwoods like 6"-8" diameter? I'm really interested in these as it is such a neat attachment, but I just can't see how much time it would save over cutting the trees down with a chainsaw?
It seems that the easiest part of clearing trees is cutting them down, the time consuming and difficult part is dealing with the trees once they're already down.
Have you found that using the Turbo Saw significantly reduced the time and effort to clear a large area? How well do the teeth hold up? Do you cut right at ground level?
How much use have you given your Turbo Saw? I really would love the chance to see one of these in action and even use one, as I think it could really be useful in the right conditions. I'm certainly interested in hearing more about how well you like yours, how it's performed according to your expectations, and what types/amounts of trees you have cleared with it.
Thanks for any more info you can give.
