so heres it's some of the stuff i've been doing with my pp 5020
some storm damage control and cutting firewood of trees that were down. some elm and eucalyptus
i've had it since 2014 i think. no repairs or replacements till now, but as of this week its not running properly i think it's the carburator. it speeds as soon as you turn it on. wants to run fast even on the choke all the way out. its also hard to start it.
i would agree that the bar is a bit too long for the saw or the engine is too small for that bar. when too much of the bar is engaged specially in hardwood it stalls. you need to play around the big logs to decrease the contact area of the bar and the log which that can be tiring. i would say logs under 40cm/16 inch are better suited for this chainsaw.
seems good for property management and homeusers
