Evening Yard!
Glad to see you back DT.
I finally got the dust blown of my SxS and went for a ride in the hills today. I finally made good use of a hand saw. There was a fair sized Aspen that had fallen across the trail and my friend was about to turn around since we both forgot our chainsaws. (It's a should have thing in the spring here) I grabbed a cheapo hand saw and had it out of the way in about 5 minutes. He was thinking it wouldn't work. Soft green wood wasn't too much of an issue and the biggest part was only about 10 inches.
I am ordering a better quality handsaw though. I ordered a Silky Gomboy 11 inch saw. The one I used which rated high worked but it tweeked the lock bar after the first cut. I'm not sure it would have made it through a similar sized tree if we had to do it again.
It was a great day on the trails though, We had to turn around 3 times though due to deep snow all right at the 7500 ft elevation. I never made it to where I was trying to go but it was nice to get out and it was gorgeous country.
