In Reply to: Buying a saw posted by notjustair on October 28, 2013 at 17:27:16:
notjustair, I'm very disappointed in all 2 stroke engines, period. With today's gas, the fuel lines and carbs will not hold up. 2 strokes are a BPIA.
I have a 3500 watt RV genny that has a 120v 30 amp out. I went to sears and bought an 18 inch 4 hp electric, on sale for $100. It can cut through an 18 inch red oak log with little effort.
I'm getting old and the electric saw is the only thing that will start every time I pull the trigger and my arm doesn't get tired. My genny starts on the first or second pull every time. Genny can run for 3 hours at half power on a gallon.
I have 2 places 20 miles apart. I like the saw so much I purchased a second one. My genny only weighs 100 pounds. I can either put it in the back of truck or take it to the woods with my loader. I wore the chain out on my first saw, when I decided to buy a second saw. BTW each saw comes with a second chain.
Like you, I don't cut fire wood, just cut things that fall out of trees.
I'm very happy I got rid of the loud, smokey 2 cycle. Yes, it takes a little effort to use a 50 ft extension cord, but it's nothing compaired to trying to get a chain saw started that's only used occasionly.
So, if you have a good genny try it, bet you will like it. I sure love mine.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
