    That's a keeper there for sure, nice saw Andy Taylor ! Heavy, but lots of grunt in the cut. Well done!

    Lots of torque in that series of Stihl. And they sound cool also, much different from modern saws.

    Yes indeed. I can't wait to do more cutting with it. It will give my forearms a good work out!!
