His family comes from generations of timber workers. His great grandfather helped log the great Mohave forest of Southern California...
I have a Stihl MS200T (14 inch bar) which I use quite a lot, good for up to 5 inch trees. Very light, and 2 horsepower. For the big stuff, I have a Stihl MS440 with a 28 inch bar. Very "weighty", about 5.4 horsepower. It will cut anything I'm likely to attempt, and very quickly too.
