About three weeks ago, a very large macrocarpa tree came down in the storm at our bach in Okains Bay. It missed the house by about 10 metres, but took out a fence, the sheep shedding race, the vegetable garden and a number of little trees.Over the holidays, we made time to go and flex some chainsaw muscle and clear up some of the mess. My brother in law had started a week before, so we spent quite a few hours clearing up trimmings etc and cutting branches into logfire size pieces.
There is certainly a great deal of firewood to get from this one tree, but it is such a fun job to do. I must say, it is much easier with my new chainsaw (bought for my birthday present) than the old one. For a look at the specs, just follow the link. http://www.husqvarna.com/nz/landowner/products/chainsaws/440-e-series/#features
