Is it possible to own too many chainsaws?

If Sean Connery sang Thin Lizzy songs would he be Stihl in love with you?:whistling:

I have 4. An almost useless Remmington electric with a 14" bar, a Black & Decker 82V battery powered with 18" bar, a Sthil farm boss with 20" bar and a Husqvarna 395XP with a 32" bar.

The electric leaks oil so bad I don't use it anymore. I am quite impressed with the B&D. Very good power with up to 45 minute run time of continuous use. The farm boss is the work horse the Husky is a monster heavy aggressive saw with lots of power. I use it too break down large stock for the farm boss. i can only use out for about 1/2 hour. It wears me down pretty fast.

With a chain and guide like that you would think you was going into chainsaw carving, or are you. Nice little saw and handy for the smaller jobs

Not had a chance to play with it yet.
It turned up on Friday but I was teaching then and Saturday. It's just for wood harvesting and blanking. I'm told the fine 1/4" wide chains are super efficient.

I notice things like this whenever you order something it always turns up on a day that you have planned to do something else and playtime has to wait:winking::winking::winking:

I replaced my knackered Jonsored with a Stihl a few weeks ago.

The difference is like night and day.

Not least because the Stihl stars first time and the Jonsored took almost until night time to do so.

I have a battery powered Stihl and I find it excellent. More powerful than it looks and does everything I want. Great for preparing timber. Not recommended to take a tree down but I have successfully taken down a small one.
