Abstract
A field sawbuck having a tree gripper forming a top side fulcrum for holding an end of a felled tree and a tree engaging arm for pivoting the felled tree about the fulcrum to bring the felled tree to an elevated condition whereby the limbs can be removed and the tree can be conviently cut into desired length without concern for pinching or binding the saw or having the saw blade accidentally contact a support soil for the felled tree as well a method for delivering a felled tree to a field sawbuck that can cantileverly support the felled tree during the process of removing limbs from the tree or during the process of field cutting of the felled tree into firewood lengths.

The method of positioning a felled tree in a cutting condition on a field sawbuck housing comprising the steps of:
- bringing a cut end of a felled tree into proximity of a field sawbuck housing;
- confining a cut end of the felled tree in a tree gripper in the sawbuck housing to form a topside fulcrum therein;
- applying a torque to the felled tree through a tree-engaging member to pivot the felled tree about the topside fulcrum to thereby rotate the felled tree into an elevated cutting condition.
