I am surprised nobody mentioned a Stihl 046 Mag or an 064 AV. Sometimes you have to consider (1) availability, (2) cost and (3) power. These saws have all three but their owners tend to hang onto them -- like I do.
Hello all new guy here.
I’m in need of some advice.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Hambone, you didn't really want advise did you? I didn't see one person tell you to get a 391. Go ahead and get one. Non-pro saw for a non-pro. Sheesh!!!!!!!
I see it more with Stihls than any other brand. They do a great job of marketing.This happens a lot.

The OP has never used a saw over 50CC's. I was half saying the 660 tongue in cheek. It is a smooth mild mannered saw. But, compared to what he's been running, by the time he pulled the trigger on the 028, the 660 would be through the log and in the dirt. That 3120 is a smokin deal, but I think we are leading the OP down the wrong path.
Right, but you know you GOTTA have a Stihl right?Actually all the info from Stihl had me going in circles.

So what has your head spinning? You mentioned cutting wood 48" occasionally up to 60". If your great dealer support is recommending a 391 for that work I would say that's not very supportive advice.
Not butt hurt here, you can't buy my favorite brand in a store anymore. If it's gonna be Stihl, for $1000, and a 32" bar(occasionally), there aren't really that many options.The variety of options at my fingertips. Other than spending $1000 on what avenues do I have? That’s what has my head spinning.
I can’t help if you get butt hurt because I’m wanting to go with a different brand than your brand of choice. Chevy vs Ford big guy.
The right tool for the job is always more safe. A 50/70cc pro saw combo is a great choice to cover it all. If you've ran some saws already you'll be fine. A bigger powerhead laying on a log is more manageable that a smaller, lighter one.
