Bought one of these this last summer for tree thinning. This saw worked well for me in all weather types. The anti-vibration system was great. This saw ate threw wood almost as good as my 44. The chain stays tight even when running for long periods of time.

Had some trouble with the oilier. It takes a very small screwdriver to adjust it and sometimes this is not something that you have deep in the woods. Bar wrench will not work. Also it was a bit heavy, but with the anti-vibration system your forearms hardly feel anything.

I would definitely recommend this saw to anyone. This saw will handle most tasks with no problem.
