[QUOTE="Calman, post: 562866, member: 3341"] Back in the late 60's in ohio I worked in the logging.We had McCullough and homlite. Then they came out with the stihl.Man what a saw. It would cut circles around the other two,but viberated so bad you had to carry a pocket full of extra bolts.That improved in about the first 2 yrs and they were the only saw I would have up until about 3 yra ago. I bought an echo. I use it quite often and have had no problem. Easy start and light weight and cuts great. The trick to keeping a sharp chain is to watch the cutting coming out of the tree. I f that chain aint pulling cuttings out about 1/4 to 1/2 in long you need to file it.Takes only about 15min to touch it up if you do it right when it needs it. If you dont you are just ruining a chain,blade and motor. When I got to the woods with a saw I have a file in my back pocket. A chain kept sharp will last a lot longer than a dull one. Trying to fall a tree with a dull chain is inviting sudden death. Cal [/QUOTE]
