I apologize for my OSHA noncompliance, but that damn log is heavy. Impressed with the saw, and the cut. Would’ve been helpful to take the end guard off, but then I would have had to move the log.

I had a Ryobi 18" for several years but it seized up and the valve snapped. I got a Stihl and been using that for 4 years now with good results, especially on oak logs. I sharpen my own chains BTW. I found out that getting parts for the Ryobi was difficult after I had taken it down and pulled the head and extracted what was left of the valve. My only wish is for a 24" 4-cycle heavy duty chain saw. I am in a wheel chair, so you can imagine the contortions I go through to use that saw. LOL

I can honestly say I’ve never imagined a man in a wheel chair wielding a chainsaw. That on its own is impressive!

Strapped in, wheels locked. Easy peasy. You should see me at the range with my SKS. Sort of a mobile firing platform? I still wish I had been able to keep the pristine SKS kit I picked up in Vietnam, but got blown up before i could mail it home, drat! Foiled again! Hope that the NVA took it out of the VC's pay.

At least he doesn't need to worry very much about cutting off his own leg. He wouldn't miss it.

Why do you want a 4-stroke chainsaw? That would be insanely heavy.

Yeah, you got a good point there. I'll let that daydream go back to sleep LOL

The new Stihl 500i's are fuel injected. Which is crazy to me. They're lighter than a 462 and have a mind boggling amount of power.
