Oak is something like 20-times sturdier than pine, and cutting through pine can get done pretty fast with a hand saw. For trimming pine boughs just two or three strokes with one of those 18' branch trimmers and the pine bough falls down fast.
With an oak it takes a very long time to saw through by hand, lot of effort on oak.
The small electric chain saws that plug into 110-volts are very good for around the yard. No real need for a serious two-stroke chain saw?
