One of the guys I work with has a neighbor who lost a very large hackleberry tree during the hurricanes. According to him, most of the upper tree has already been removed, but most of the trunk is still there. He gives me the impression the tree is atleast three feet in diameter. Any ideas on how to cut this? Should I just slice it in 6 inch sections or try to cut it as slabs? Keep in mind, this will be my first time using a chain saw, so I want to stick with the easiest method of cutting.
