I have seen the various large chain saws,but I have never seen one like the one I am imagining:
A long cutting chain, or cable,coupled to a motor drive, whereas you route the chain over the log,then join the ends of the chain together at the drive end,similar to the cable the used to cut marble,etc. except designed for cutting wood.This would make it possible to section logs of any size in the field easily.The drive motor would have to move slowly backwards as the chain cut through the log,perhaps controlled by tension on the chain/cable.
Has anyone seen such a cutter for wood?
