From chopping wood to sawing logs, Timber Sports have various aspects that require precision, speed, and immense physical prowess. The stock saw, in particular, focuses on the ability to handle and operate a chainsaw effectively. The stock saw activity demands competitors to make two cuts through a 16-inch diameter log within a designated timeframe. And Eddie Hall took the challenge to perform a stock saw with a powerful MS661 Chainsaw. However, even the 2017 Strongman was aware of the sheer power of the electric equipment.
The chainsaws Eddie handled had 91 CC/7.3 horsepower engines, designed to effortlessly cut through dense logs with incredible speed. “I have just Google done my phone. These chainsaws are 91 CC so that’s quite powerful, 7.3 horsepower. Probably equivalent of a 125 cc bike, so these have got some big horsepower. So, it’d be interesting to see how fast they get,” Hall revealed. Equipped with chainsaws featuring 91 CC/7.3 horsepower engines, Hall harnessed his raw strength to handle the sheer power and precision required to slice the wood log.
To tackle this thrilling challenge, Eddie Hall turned to the expertise of two formidable champions in the timber sports community. Glen Ellington, the British champion, and Jack Morris, the amateur champion, provided guidance and assistance to Eddie as he tried his hands on different tasks. However, this is not the first time when the strongman has collaborated with popular icons of other sports.
