That's a sure enough beautiful saw, Dan. But where in the world do you put in the gas and oil?

Well - sometimes if one is good- 15 is better....
I do have a good boys axe- unfortunately- swinging it not in my repertoire anymore thanx to myrt shoulder issues...
Well your obviously are not thinking correctly.
You need to employ the help of a 17 year old (preferably a relative).
Have him cut the tree down. Pay him a decent wage.
Have him take the "fall" if there are any percussions from falling a green tree (pun intended).
Tell the Fed's that you told him to prune the limbs and you turned around and there were 3 trees already chopped down before you could stop him.
Dang kids these days!
Since he is a relative, there may be less of a chance that he will spill the beans and point a finger at you. 🙂
Always better to have a spotter anyway when falling trees.

Twenty says I can get it stuck and have to hump it back to find an axe.

Neither of those saws will make a kerf wide enough to allow the insertion of a wedge to hold it open. A 12"' tree is just going to be too heavy to manage without mechanical advantage.. I'll put my $10 on Williwaw's.

Well hypothetically, I'm pretty sure a guy could use a bow saw to cut down 6 trees fir and ponderosa ranging in size from 6"-11", acquire 14 birds, and take 2- 180 epoch Rtk shots on a found stone, without getting the saw stuck or otherwise killing himself- hypothetically of course...

We'll never see a write-up on this stone no matter how interesting it is. [sarcasm]Can't go revealing the scene of the hypothetical "crime".[/sarcasm] :whistle:

I've never done it with a 12" tree, but I have with smaller trees: cut a wedge tall enough to leave lots of cutting room but not deep enough to bind, then repeat until the tree is down. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a larger tree, though it does mean effectively cutting through the tree several times.

I prefer to call it hypothetical strategic timber management ....
The type of saw wood(pun intended) knot(pun intended) matter. I would get it hung up. Guaranteed! A sharp axe however will get the job done much sooner and with far less bending over at the oversized waist.
My 12" echo chainsaw would do that job. Not very low profile in the noise department though.
Are there any openings near by to where you could get a couple of gps points and then steel tape to the corner to then calc dist-dist intersection. Not that I'm opposed to cutting down a tree to get a shot, as I'm certified eco-terrorist in that category. But sounds like felling trees is not something you're comfortable with.
Myself, I'd pack one of my smaller stihl's. Not that I'm opposed to chopping a tree down, but I'd rather pack a chainsaw then chop down a tree.
