V-8 Chainsaw ?!?!

In a smooth Aussie twang, David Burder shares his philosophy - the man with the biggest toy wins.

It's best not to argue with a man with a V8-powered chainsaw, so it seems, he's right.

For the last 18 months, Burder has morphed a 1979 Holden engine into a loud, proud V8 chainsaw - which he claims to be the only one of its kind in the world.

"In America they have two-man V8 chainsaws but this is the only single-man one in the world as far as I know."

Burder, from the Whitlands in the middle of Victoria, said his beast weighs 330kg and runs on standard 91 octane petrol.

The 1.2m blade can cut through a log half a metre thick in around two seconds. "It makes a lot of noise and a lot of sawdust," he said.

He admitted it would be impractical to market, and simply made the monster for fun.

"It's just a toy, but I'm born of the opinion he who has the best toy wins."
