To earn the title of World’s Largest Chainsaw, shouldn’t the saw in question have cut down at least one tree? We doubt that Big Gus here has had that honor, unless it fell on one — but that really isn’t the same thing.
Still, the 23-foot, V8-powered timber cutter brings a smile to our faces. The owner is scared to death of revving it up full-bore; he fears the chain’ll fly off and hit passing cars. We find this to be mighty considerate of him since we know how easy it is to slip one off the regular-sized variety. We admire his excellent self-restraint — we’d have done it already.

I was THERE when they fired that bad boy up for the Guinness Guys. Mighty impressive, to say the least.

Freak’n chain’s on backwards!
Huh? Looks right to me.
Bottom teeth should be pointed at operator. Pulls the saw INTO the log and prevents kickbacks when used correctly.
They are! I think you are mistaking the depth guides for the cutters. Guides are in front of the cutters.
