Whew, Andy. When I saw this thread up and running again, I thought the Murph had been resurrected. Glad it was only you:) And I agree with your review.

There are Youtube ego strokers and then there are Arboristsite ego strokers. I don't know if I prefer one to the other.

If we stick to that definition, I double cut just about everything. Easier than carrying an overlong bar around, which IMO is pretty near useless for limbing hardwoods anyway. ( Not often you see a vegetarian flogging a dead horse, is it?)
