This is an amazing chainsaw, fast, powerful and reliable. The only problem with it is me. I was deathly sick last fall. Spent 6 days in the hospital and lost 20 lbs! I do not have the muscle mass for the hard snap it takes to start this beast. My loss is your gain. I can't start it. I've seen other guys start it. You start it you can buy it. For this saw, this is a great price.
