I don't cut a lot of wood normally anymore so my druthers won't count for much I guess . I bought and use a Stihl MS460 with a 24" bar a number of years ago and it's OK . I don't know which class it falls under - homeowner , commercial or pro . I can cut continuously for hours on one tank of fuel it has such a large tank . It's fairly easy to stall though . It might need some TLC for that . First time it was out being used I lent it to a friend and a VERY large tree decided to fall in the wrong direction and the saw took a direct hit about 10 feet from the base . Broke it in half . The guy that borrowed it bought the new parts ( backbone , fuel tank and handle ) , I switched them out in an hour or so and all is OK years later . I use a old McCulloch Promac 24 I believe it is at work with a 24" bar and my BIL has the same one . THOSE are saws ! Heavy and aggressive ! Like holding onto a dirt bike engine when you rev them up . Don't like the weight but I couldn't stall one of those if I tried to ! To bad about McCulloch . ...Randy

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
