Classic jackass. Keep thinking you know what you're doing, that three or four summers on some kind of crew makes you competent. That tree is exactly what you should be cutting. Professional fallers working fires around the world thank you.
Typical yard cutters- falling from the side of the tree, not in a gunning position behind the saw. Don't make the excuse that it's "just a stub". See how long you live on a production skyline or helicopter job.
Ass Clowns!! I love the Poulan Saw! The crew loved this one.
