You did a good job on the Sahara Forest, Nela. You might as well call it the Sahara Desert now. Kind of catchy, what?

Back in my younger day we could not afford a chainsaw. For much of the time we used a double crosscut while logging the Sahara Forrest. Glad we finally finished that job.

To accompany your new purchase and to quench your thirst, I recommend Coor's Light as decent and relatively safe "chain saw beer". It's weak enough you can drink one and still safely operate a chain saw.

+1 for Stihl

Logged for a year or so in my "younger years".... pre-commercial thinning (taking out everything 36" and larger), and also surveyed for the Dept. of Forestry. Ran the "snot" out of an old 051 that you HAD to depress the compression release in order to yank.... fired every time and every day! Finally died when my "cat-skinner" drove over the darn thing with a D8.... sad day. Got replaced with a huge Mac with a 48" bar which cut well but was waaaay too heavy to haul up the grades we were working on. Convinced me that was no job to make a career of for sure!

Take Care;
Doug

In my fire department we use the Stihls. We used to use a brand that was made for firefighting ( I do believe it was made by Husqvuarna) and the Stihls are far superior. I am also aware that many of the fireline sawyers use Stihls. I would also agree that getting a longer bar would make alot of difference. We use 24" bars on ours as it is easier to use. You don't have to bend over as mush to cut a roof and the greater amount of teeth on the chain cut faster.

Thanks for the feedback. I expected to find fans of both but Stihl would be slightly favored. This just supports what I have read for user reviews online.
