Hey all!
I have a ~ 60' white pine growing along the side of my shed (workshop). I'll be posting pics soon to get some advice on dropping the beast. It is now growing into the shed and pushing the block foundation - it has to go. Anywho, my question relates to my saw. I've never cut a lot of white pine - just branches that have dropped from property trees. The tree guy is going to drop the tree and buck the largest diameter sections, but I'll work the rest. How badly will the pitch gum up my saw? I'm imagining a ton of pitch spinning from the chain and gunking up the saw badly. Should I rent a saw for this work and keep my saw pitch free? Not sure what a rental would cost for a day. What do you all think? Cheers!
