Very nice well done video. The aerial drone shot was great!
First faller with the 462 needed to do some work on his chain. It was sharp enough but just needed better depth gauge or cutter side plate settings.
The second tree felled by what looks like a pro who cuts wood daily for a living was smooth operating the 462, used his helmet screen and had a good cutting properly set chain on the saw.
The C85 chain sounds interesting and I hope we get them in Canada soon.
Thank you Willard!
