I like all the comments here. I like to get opinions from guys who have cut lots and lots of trees and firewood. I dont like hearing from a store clerk on what is good and what is not, besides he would have to push the brand he is selling. My 029 farm boss Stihl had problems at first, like....after a month the RPMs went to 1/2 of what it initially did, took it to my dealer and they removed a restrictor plate or something, ran fine after that, that was 10 years ago. Stihl makes a good saw, I really want to see a Dolmar, I might get one. Remember guys, dont buy bar/chain oil. Just filter that used motor oil and keep the bar/chain lubed before use by pouring out a little oil right on the chain. I also dip the bar into oil before use. I havent bought bar/chain oil in 3 years. With the high cost of oil I aint buying bar/chain oil anymore. Used oil is cheap. What does a quart of bar/chain oil cost now, $4 maybe, dont know. 2 of my neighbors have Husqvarnas and they have a hard time starting them, in fact 3 weeks ago my neighbor couldnt get his Husky running and I went over and got my Stihl, ran like a &aped ape all day, 4 big trees all dropped and logged up. 4 years ago the road commision dropped a large oak at the road, (4 feet at the base) and as I was out at the road cutting it up a fella drives up to me and says "can I have some of those logs" I said yeah, help me clean this schitt up. Next day this guy comes back with a brand new Stihl, 24" bar BIG SAW....$500 too. Yikes!, that saw was incredible.
When I first bought my land 10 years ago I starting cutting up trees and had piles of logs laying around. I literally gave away enough hardwood logs to fill several 10 yard dump trucks. I kinda regret giving away 10 years worth of firewood but I had to get rid of it. I hope that I get a pay back later in life. Yesterday I dropped and cut up a 50' dead ash tree, 8" diameter at the base, straight as an arrow. Thanks for the comments.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
