    Im not sure but its somewhere around 2 or 3 gallons of bar oil a week i use.it does seem a gallon of gas goes faster than a gal of oil. 3 gal of gas a day and 5 gal of oil is alot.i assume theres more than one person involved in that because thats quite abit.

    Lol.hearing protection should be a must.i didn't think mine was to bad till i got home and my wife was hoaring at me and all i hear is the saw still going. Not a bad thing but she thought so.so now ear muffs. I set mine around the 12000 mark to play it safe

    a how many acres question

    Yes i agree clearing and cutting two different things.i do both but prefer just cutting. Exit plan being get an extra person and knock it out. Done it before.iv been hauling cedar off the ranch to sell.the owner asked me about it so i figured id do it for him.
