I live in Toronto but all my (running) saws are at our cottage in the Washago/Rama area, about 20 minutes north of Orillia. Complete newbie.
I only picked up my first chainsaw maybe 9 months ago, since then I quickly got addicted. Started looking at saws because I was interested in milling some trees my neighbour gave me. Now I'm up at night studying chainsaw repair manuals and making up my own loops of chain.
My first saw I bought was a new MS250 I brought to cut up the inevitable branches and bigger that fall down on the property every year. My other runners are two 076es, a P62, Echo CS8000, and JD CS81, all of which I got used. The 076es are my milling saws. Still kicking myself about the 090 I didn't buy on Kijiji a while back, mostly because a really knowledgeable Stihl tech told me they were a PITA.
Then I have more than 10 saws that are project saws, some of them missing a few parts. I had about 5 266es but a couple had rotted crankcases. My goal is to one day get at least one running saw out of that pile.
