Let's start over......
Yes, I'm pretty well committed to it. I cut down quite a few trees, mostly oak and many of them are large blackjacks. It's a heavily wooded acre lot and there has been a desease killing off the oaks the last 3 or so years. I hire out the big ones near the house, where they need to be taken down from the top, but I do the ones I know I can fell without damaging anything. I want a saw that I can count on. I had a McCullough that I inherited from my Dad, in 1988. It was about 50 years old and finally gave up the ghost about 3 years ago. That thing was a little hard to start, but dependable.
