I'd also be cautious about reaching around with my left hand to pull the branch forward for the next cut. Most chainsaws idle at 2200 - 3200 rpm. The chain isn't supposed to turn at idle but setting the idle speed is tricky and it would be difficult to find a wood butcher who hasn't continued cutting even though the chain was still turning at idle. I'd be worried about reaching around and stabbing myself in the throat with that thing.It looks like the bracket would fit anywhere on the tailgate so moving it toward the middle might be ergonomically safer. Current orientation would be more comfortable for a lefty and mounting with the bar dropping to the right might be better for a right-handed person.
