$4K chainsaw. Are the replacement diamond tipped chains $3K?

This is by far the most expensive chainsaw I've ever seen.

$1028 a chain, for the 16". The 25" is $1500. The 20" hydraulic iron cutting chainsaw is 6.5k, and the power into is just shy of 12k. That would be the most expensive chainsaw you've ever seen if you would take a look.

if you would take a look.

I have a Stihl with 20" bar for trees/logs and a Dewalt electric with 12" bar for trimming, I never had to go any higher in the lineup to suit my firewood/tree trimming needs. I've only had to cut concrete once when the foundation guys screwed up setting the forms on one of my dad's houses he was building circa 1980. We rented a big concrete circular saw and jackhammer to remedy that problem. It took me a few hours IIRC. The $4K saw you posted looks like it would be a much faster solution, but I don't think anything quite like it existed back then - at least wasn't available at our local equipment rental in town.

I was just using a 20" stihl yesterday. Buddy of mine had 8 dead ash trees he needed a hand with. Beautiful saw. I use a Stihl ts420 for concrete, also beautiful. Don't need the chainsaw, but you know how it is. See a neat toy, want a neat toy.

Your fingers, and one of them in particular, are begging you to just walk away and never think of it again.

Haha! I still got six perfect fingers and two beautiful thumbs. They felled 8 40-60' tall dead ash trees yesterday without incident, though one got hung up. Got it on the ground easily enough. Accidents happen, ain't gonna let them hold me back.

Wranglerstar probably has two. He has everything.

I'd like to agree with you, but I don't think he has any of these. Seems a bit too specific and expensive for anyone not getting their money's worth from it. He doesn't strike me as the type that needs to cut a lot of concrete. If he did he'd probably drill, wedge and snap it... Old school.

Ye ol’ feather & wedges, I’ve pounded in a few of those into stone back in the day. Works pretty slick and quick.

He’s not always old school with everything, but you’re probably right.

Seems to me he'd make his own wedges from scrap before shelling out the money on this. That out he'd mod an old chainsaw to handle that diamond chain.
