Aye there reputation is terrible for it.

Althou I've never used 1 meant to have some power too,but they are an 80cc saw

 

 

Due a new 70cc saw shortly. Was thinking about going for 1 but thought thought off carrying 2 combi cans put me right off.

Thinking a 462 instead.

Lantra will do you a 5 day medium felling course just on doing a hinge boring cut thing, delivered by your local never done it except in a training school instructor. 

But that's enough of my gripe against training establishments

Interestingly the forestry guys I know tend to use a largish saw 70cc-80cc with a 13" bar !  Needless to say it never bogs !

I meantioned earlier abt x3 bar cuts in another thread.   After a few of those, thought about doing Large Tree Fell, asked assessor if worth it ? He said " how many you done already?  ( abt 20 by then) well, i have done 4 and one of those was simulated.  I wouldnt bother"  this was when it was 800 quid to do   ?  K

No.   It just gives Stihl chance to put a squiggly 'i' on the cases so you can look big and clever.....  ?  k

Some educational stuff on youtube as usual.  This guy says he is certified, if he isn't he definitely should be!
