Today we got around to cutting up another tree that vfell in the heavy winds we had earlier this month.
It was quite a tricky task and I performed it under the guidance of our head greenkeeper who has over 15 years of experience with chainsaws.
Included here is a closeup of two chainsaws each with a different drive system. On the left is a sprocket and on the right is a rim and spline drive.
The reason I included these photos is because during today's task the chain brake broke on one of the saws. You can see this in the area that is circled on the photo. This brake is a vital safety feature on the saw and will prevent major harm to an operator if tge saw kicjs back.
