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: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
