    I look across the river and see all the country he logged.

    I used the wee 261 to drop and limb up plumb tree in section...my good wife used the 025 drop saw set up to convert them limbs into pile of firewood......man it makes life easy when you have a helper working alongside you.

    Not surprising really

    The husky is the better machine for the casual user in firewood, once you go up in CC rating it takes an experienced mind with technique and muscle to match to realise any increase that a larger saw brings to the table.

    Had a stihl 660 running today as well, just surprised the husky was so close on its heels.
    Seemed to rev way higher than all the stihls as well.
    All had new chains.

    Why do you think it should be standard issue equipment?

    in event of major kickback,you will throw hands up to protect your face...with mitt on the worst can happen,saw will go up n over top and may hit you in back,hopefully chain stopped by now..VS chop your face in half

    Does the mitt lock your hand to the handle

    It keeps your left hand where it is supposed to be on a chainsaw....

    A mitt pretty much gives the chain break mechanism the best chance of working in case of kickback. The guy who taught me felling had 30 years of experience in forestry and siviculture, he would not let anyone touch a saw without a mitt. It's just something that stuck with me.

    Not lock it but it means your hand can't easily slip off the handle, it also providesprotection from pointy twigs and things
