if you want to see the Harley Davidson of chainsaws, you need to operate my 1972 Remington with a 26" blade...it takes 2 men and a boy to operate it... I still use it to cut ice to drop a dip net...I guess they made that saw for when men were men...
I have a 80's vintage partner 18" that is a little work horse.. I pulled it out of a dumpster( someone took it completely apart and boxed it up then threw it away) many years ago,I put it back together and it's been running ever since..not even a carb adjustment... they don't make anything like that anymore...it'll sit for a year and still start after 3 or 4 pulls..
I run all my power equipment on Amisiol 100:1 mixed at 80:1... all fuel is treated with Star-tron..
Last year I bought an Echo battery operated 18" chain saw ( so I could do yard work early in the AM with out aggravating the neighbors)... for the average person this is a great thing... just leave the battery in the charger ( it has a maintenance mode)and it's instantly ready when you need it.. I've cut a lot of wood with it ( mostly pine and cedar), and the battery lasts a long time... with anything 4" and smaller it's every bit as fast as a gas chain saw.. it's light and has no vibration...I was so impressed with it I bought the string trimmer and leaf blower to match ( that also gives me plenty of spare batteries should the need arise)
