What is the best tool to use for cutting trees?

Answer by  SpaceMunkee (245)

It depends on the tree you are cutting, and if you mean taking them down or pruning. Chainsaws work well for all trees, but can be hard to use.

Use a chainsaw. It is a quick and effective tool. Pole chainsaws are the best tool to use if you only need to cut limbs from a tree.

Hand pruners are good for the small branches, sucker growth, etc. Loppers work for most branches that are one to three inches. Any thing bigger you will need a chain saw. Whatever you use make sure it is as sharp as possible. You do not want to tear the bark.

It depends on the size of the tree if it is a large tree you nee a chain saw if it is a shrub tree you only need a pair of hedge trimmers.

For a tree larger than an inch in diameter, a chainsaw is best. For smaller trees, loppers will work just fine. Please follow all safety precautions when you use a chainsaw.

You can use a handsaw or a chainsaw, it depends on how large and thick the tree is and if you can handle which better. With a handsaw more manpower is required but it is safer because you have more control, with a chainsaw you need more steadiness.
