I guess you could call it a "Bitty Baby Beast"
. I only collect saws over 90CC. Although I was in Southern States, a farm and feed store, for Neil. They are also a Stihl dealer, and I bought an MS 170 on sale for $159. It's soooo cute. I don't let it sit next to the 660, I'm afraid it might roll over and squish the poor little thing, Joe.
Don't judge until you've had a "Baconator"!yeah yeah, you Americans and your 'Bigger is better' attitude.....pffft.
Yeah, Randy - Mastermind - did the work and sent it down. The saw positively snarls at wood. The 7900 may be larger than you anticipated but it's one of if not the lightest saws in that class. There's a chart of actual test data in this thread ( http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/chainsaw-test-data.311035/#post-6284485 ) and you'll see the 7900 stands out in the power to weight category. I've been known to limb all day with the 7900 when the need arises. And I'm not fit. Otherwise, the 241 should be up for sale soon. It's a lovely saw - light and powerful for its weight. 16-18" bar is about its limit though, which may or may not work for you. Either way, shipping from NZ will kill the deal. The last saws I sent overseas were big old collectors saws and it was not a cheap exercise.
I am selling the BK and getting a Froling boiler. Can't wait!
LOLsee now I'd say 50cc was big-ish. wanna sell it?
For the record, i prefer 40:1 with Shell peanut oil, and canola bar oil.
You want no firewood custody battles. It can get ugly.The Lady Farmer has asked me to ferry the wood I have cut in the last week out to my place while she sorts out what she is doing in the next couple of weeks. She doesn't want to leave any cut wood on the farm for her ex. I only had time to nick out to the farm for one load this arvo after work before it got dark. I'll hopefully get the rest over the weekend.

I just chucked it out on the grass and subtracted my wood storage fee:

I love these peppermint bits. Roughly 3.5-6 inch diameter bits. Bone dry having been dead standing for several years in the upper part of the tree. No need to split, just chuck straight in the fire. Virtually no ash and great coals. Close to locust BTUs. And, ahem, faster to cut with a 460 than .... ah no need to go there.
Im surprised that peaks not snow capped yet. Are you planing on building a ski resort
How many years ahead now, you may be able to go into retirement and sell all your saws.
That's how I was for years. When I worked for my Dad I used a Homelite 1050 with a 24" bar for limbing on the ground. If you set a little saw down some knuckle head would grab it, stick it in the ground, and then put it back. People would walk in big circles around the 1050. It would drive you crazy, you would come out of the tree and set your climbing saw down, go up the next tree, and it would be dull, and nobody would say a word. Now I got that little MS170 and it's fun zipping up twigs, Joe.
