Chainsaw recommendation

[MikeD]

Thats great advice, thank you. I've been using the 40:1 mix with the 95 octane/no ethanol canned mix so I think I"m good there. I hear what your saying 100% with safety. I saw a great thread where everyone was talking about different phobia's. Some one asked what a fear of chainsaws was and a guy replied "common sense" That stuck with me. I have been cutting in my carhartt doubled up lined overalls but I've looked at the chaps. Seems like a smart investment. I think you convinced me. I dont drop trees, but I'm a bit of a pyro and love taking hardwood to season for the fireplace. Its been a great spring for that. Lots of wood on the ground. Of all the tools I own I believe this is the one that I'm most afraid of, I think it should stay that way. Thanks for the reply.

You are welcome. Didn't intend to make you fearful of the saw, just respect what it is....a dangerous tool. Respect it and take proper precautions and you'll be fine.

The reason the Husq's have so many problems in the intake is made of rubber and doesn't hold up. Sucks in air and the saws won't run. Had mine changed twice and it went again. I will never buy another one
