I've mentioned in past that we cut a lot of palms to which I dedicate a MS440, we go thru one about every 9 to 12 months.
This is a pic of what the sap does ... it's like acid and eats thru the saw.
We replace oil pumps every 2 to 3 months, the chain brake becomes dysfunctional at around 6 months as all the housing and lugs have been eaten away, the oil reservoir starts to leak and we grind it down and bog it up... eventually the corrosion gets thru to the engine.
Oh, we do clean saws thoroughly and regularly.
