I finished up a section this morning that was mostly red and chesnut with some maple. Some of the reds in there where monsters, 50 + inches on the stump. Not much fun and too much work with a 440/20 inch bar. I think we are running the only yarder in Virginia right now! My mexican buddy and his few day old 440 and i could dog in to 20 inch chesnut oak at the same time and while mine was letting go, he would just be starting his back cut. I also love the stihl feel but larger, fatter rear handle, bigger handle bar demsions, its just wonderfull. carrying 2 extra lbs to the top is no big deal when falling takes 1/3 the effort and 1/2 the time. It runs strong with new fullcomp .045 on the rakers on the 25 inch and im guessing that its gonna get stronger after a nother 2 gallons or so. I am gonna put an 8 pin on it tomorrow.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
