I would not want some of my ported 90 cc saws w/o a decomp. I've also wished my 044 had one on some cool days, the temp makes a big difference. Cool thick oil increases compression, and it stings more when that cord is ripped out of you hand when it is cold.
Oh the days when men get old
.
I've always like having a good variety of saws, when I get tired or don't need a large saw why run it unless it's just to get it out to run it. I have quite a few that need to be out running for a short bit at least, I haven't been feeling well and if I'm not feeling well and the saws aren't run then they won 't be feeling well
.
Hopefully I can get some run time on a few before the weekend comes.

Might have to do those calcs again, Jeff. The energy content of hardwood is ~19MJ/kg.
Spruce is 21MJ/kg. Yay spruce!

That the 801 with 240lbs compression cold.. I picked up a tractor supply D handle tried to start it like mustang mikes video it broke lol....Only saw that has bit me was @Just a Guy that cuts wood Jonsereds 80 I believe it was. Learned you don't grip it and RIP it with the big old saws with no decomp.
It looked funny with a big D ring on it anyway....... It's fun to run but it is heavy
I like the Elasostart rope/handle. The handles are larger than most, and that little bit of cushion saves both ropes and hands.
I looked it up and right you are Cowboy , either my thermodynamics text book is wrong or my memory of reading it 15 years ago is wrong, I suspect the latter. Still surprisingly a couple of bits of wood is worth a few bucks.

It could just be me but I get a kick out of telling someone here try this.....
I may try it after this rope brakes

Here is my fenceline elm from last winter finally cut n split.
Have a little more elm and oak tops down but am struggling to get time for it. DemoDerby car engine/trans swap last week's day off. CV Axles on the Corolla yesterday.
Then daughter's bf came over late yesterday needs bearings and rotors on back of his 13 Malibu... There goes another day next week...
Still have a porch and entry on the house to tear off and shingle before another winter rolls in.
Good Times for sure!

just thousands and thousands to be cut
Have you thought about a brush cutter, so that you don't have to bend over as much?

or a sharp axe?
Oh and the first picture, your gob cuts look a bit small.

They don't look it in the pictures but they range in diameter from 6-12" and have to be cut to 10' lengths and man- handled into stacks to be collected by lorry
