Stick with Stihl chain, oregons alright but Stihls better not sure about husky never used it. Like I said before stick with full chisel unless there is a high chance of cutting dirt/mud.

a lot of techniques I don't see used here
Boring with the tip is a good cutting style if you do it right, ebf
Cut the scarf on the downhill side then slice each side of the uphill cut, cut across from the back then bore in through the keyhole and "sweep" it so that it falls
When you see a tree that has been felled this way the whiskers have a stop in the middle
A good technique to use if you are caught with a saw that is shorter than you need
Follow that link from 308 to Redwood felling in the 1940's, they probably argued what was the best brand of Axe. Impressive stuff. same method used on Kauri I guess
Oh well Stihl it is:D

Yeah 308, I've seen bore cutting on a big tree - too scary for my liking thanks :D
I only fall trees for firewood, turning blanks or to help out mates - dont do it often enough to get into advanced stuff like bore cuts.
Geeze Dundee - that thing is a beast
I'd only feel happy cutting something that big down knowing that it was all gonna end up as quality furniture or something equally appreciated and enduring
Haven't seen hydraulic jacks here before but I do love my Tirfor

Had an 026 and a wee 017 back in the day, both quite venerable when I acquired them, neither one ever missed a beat. Managed to lose both as part of a package including a wife, house, and wedding ring.
New Lady bought me a brand spanking MS390 for birthday before last, she's a top sort :D
Inherited the Old Man's 025, rest his soul. Hadn't been used for most of a decade. Gave it a carbie kit and a new fuel line to replace the perished one, fired up first pull.
There is another brand of orange chainsaw, but for the life of me I can't think why anyone would bother to remember the name of it :P
I have a stihl saw and weed eater, both brilliant machines and I wouldn't buy any thing else personally. Have mates with husqvarna saws and they like them to so I'd say either will see you right
