    That one might mess you up even more. I know in tall grass it grabs it and balls it up. When I cut the cat tails, and bullrushes in the ditches, I throw on one of these:

    THE best thing for grasses!
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    A few safety thoughts: Of course one should be wearing chainsaw pants/chaps, steel toed boots, safety glasses & helmet with screen, but there is 1 starting cut that should never be done.

    Most cutting is done with the bottom of the bar. Use of the top also has its applications. With care you can also press the bar straight into wood. What shouldn't be done is starting contact with the upper side of the tip of the bar; the power of the chainsaw will 'walk' the bar straight up and probably towards you! At full power this can happen with deadly speed. Hopefully the brake on the chainsaw will hit your forward hand/forearm or the bar will hit your helmet, but this is the one cut a novice should never try.

    I did a 3 week course in log house construction a few years back - this was noted during the course. I didn't enter that industry, but have made a couple rough log chairs with my Stihl. Great times!

    I thought I'd wait until members had a decent amount of posts in before asking for their, and giving out my personal information. Let's make sure that we're on the same page first, shall we?

    Point well taken. Just glad to see we are getting some northern ants.

    This is the best thread I've found on this site, maybe on any site. But I have one question, where can I get a Dolmer, the two tank gas container.

    I agree DG. This is one of the first threads I read when I first joined. Great info in this one.

    I'd like to find a couple of the Dolmers as well.
