I asked a question about budget chainsaws and plus the searches through
newsgroups, the general opinion is don't do it they are too dangerous.
Are alligator saws a suitable alternative to a chainsaw ? I have a number of
Leylandii that need choping up and disposing off. Max trunk size just over
12".
I can't answer that, but what is your current bowsaw like? With a
decent sized bowsaw, and a good blade, you might be amazed at the
speed you can cut through even a 12" log. I am no athlete, am 55+,
and am weak in the arms, but would have no difficulty in disposing
of half a dozen leylandii that size with one in a few weekends.
With a small bowsaw, or a bad blade, it would be a horrible job.
