So I have about 30ish aspen trees in my yard. They die a lot. I cut 2 down this weekend that died this year. 30 footers with about 12" trunk base. It sucked because I don't have a chain saw. I did it with my Dewalt cordless sawzall. I buy tree pruning blades that are about 8TPI - super aggressive. They work great for anything up to 4 or 5" thick. Over that it's really slow going.
I probably only need a chainsaw once a year for one or two trees. At this point I need to cut the trunks down into smaller pieces I can split and stack to burn in my fireplace. So I probably would use a chainsaw for 1 hour per year. Hard to justify buying one, and then it's always an issue keeping a motor in working shape when you only use it once a year.
No-one wants to rent them anymore due to liability.
Any good ideas for an alternative? Are the electric ones worth using? I hate to say that it might be worth while for me. I'd love to have something like a small 10" blade saw that maybe runs on propane or something so it can sit for a year between uses.
Or is there some other saw I'm not thinking of that would work well for cutting smaller tree trunks apart?
