yesterday I tortured my 18" 42cc craftsman --the neighbor had part of a large apple tree fall down 3 yrs ago and she said I could have it,the craftsman struggled making the 9 or so cuts through the tree---no time to go measure the size of this tree the 18" bar was sticking out the end maybe an inch while cutting at its widest part
so it got very hot and struggled the whole time I'm guessing the saftey type chain didn't help things
so today I get on ebay and find a few auctions ending soon so I ended up getting a 16" stihl 023 that runs but doesn't idle got it for $168 shipped
and now I won a bid on a stihl 032 barless or powerhead only for $86 starts runs but shuts off--owner thinks its a fuel problem and its 5 mi from my house so no shipping
I'm a real noob at using chainsaws I've never tkane a tree down and I've cut probably less than 2 cords of firewood
but I am jumping into this new hobby to save money and I like anything with an engine so I'm pretty excited and eager to get my hands on the new chainsaws and maybe do the muffler mods
now I need to learn how to sharpen chains
