    I want the one that's still in R&D.
    Under 5 pounds
    variable bar length (auto adjustment of course)
    auto leveling for felling
    auto stop at 25% diameter for wedge cuts
    auto wedge cut to meet the first cut
    hydraulic wedge built into the bar for use during felling cut
    skin sensor on the chain (like the new table saws safety feature)
    oil filler that won't allow gas
    gas filler that won't allow oil or straight gas to be put in
    ever-sharp chain
    auto tensioner
    power on demand

    hmmmm. I'm sure I'm forgetting something... help me out guys, I know you want to help me spend some money.

    Just trying to think outside the box...

    Wow, that is amazing, would love to have that! I have long wished for a skidsteer type machine for various chores! Curious about how much a skidsteer and that processor would cost. Then you'd have to get a bucket, grapple, etc.

    I don't use blank checks, but I do have fair amounts of "mad money". My latest purchase is proving to be capable in the very dirty cable skidded log cut offs I process. 395XP set up with 24" hard nosed bar and .404 semi chisel.

    Get that 362 ported and then let us know . I low my 362cm but also love my ported 460 these days. Both keep me grinnin the whole time. I bet a lighter ported saw would be nice though... hmmm. Christmas is coming after all...

    True. I didn’t clarify but my 362cm is ported too. It’s a beast and I’ll use it for blocking up larger logs but I swear my 241 isn’t too far behind it. I may time them one day

    Stihl 462.

    A couple a tree guys were at my place last month for precision felling and they each had one. One had a Stihl lightweight bar, which might not be durable, but it balanced like a lightsaber.

    Just before I was diagnosed with CAD I let a mint looking 2055 in a pawn shop slip past me. Price was $100:headbang::headbang:
