My ex paw in law was an arborist in MS, we used McCullochs back then until they started on the plastic stuff and then he swapped to Stihl. He had lots of 10-10s and a 1000. Huge and heavy but man did that thing have the power to cut through the big stuff. My first saw was a 7-10 built out of a box of junk parts and that was a great saw. Someone else thought the same thing and stole it.
He impressed upon me that the key to longevity was to measure your mix and keep the air filter clean. That has served me well on my old 034 super. It still starts 1st or 2nd pull. It's probably 30 years old now and shows no sign of giving up. I also have a Jonsared turbo smaller saw that was given to me. Its a lot harder 1st start but cuts well and starts easier after that.
The best saw is the one with local dealer support. I see a quite a few of a brand called Redmax used by cutting crews. Good looking saws but I have no direct experience with them. No idea who makes them for sure, Husqvarna I think.
Use no ethanol trash. It's for drinking, not fuel. Measure mix and keep the air filter clean. It works.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
