For all those lumberjacks out there -- The V8 Chainsaw

There was a thread on the Arboristsite.com forum about the day that thing broke a chain in a cut. There is a thing called chainshot that occurs with high powered harvester bars like that where the broken chain acts like a whip and throws the last couple of links like a bullet.

Luckily the guys pickup was downrange, the chain fragment went through the guard, the tyre and punctured the engine sump. They are very carefull about who is standing downrange of it now :eek:

"oh I'm a lumberjack and I'm insane,
I take my v8 and hook it to a chain,

I cut through logs, it takes two guys,
it throws some links, and puts out yer eyes."
