Notice how I only come out of the wood work (haha) on the chainsaw vids. 2 questions? Do you take your stumps down to the ground afterwards and I always, like you, started the saw with the brake on but recently saw that you shouldn't start the saw with the brake engaged. Thoughts?
Hey Booms: I don't like using the brake on a cold start because of the high idle activating the clutch, but I do anyway for safety. I take the brake off asap. It probably is not unsafe if you have the saw locked between your legs, but if you are starting on the ground the brake could save you from eating dirt and rocks with your saw. I think this is a rule that you can bend to suit your situation. I will be cutting those stumps down so I can drive over them. You can see a stump that is tall, but those stumps down in the weeds will stop your utility vehicle and hold your wheels off the ground!

It's a pleasure to watch someone work who knows exactly what they are doing.
