I have a KM56 with the pole saw, it does seem underpowered and when cutting it tends to stop if it bites into the wood too much and I have to keep lifting it up out of the cut to get it going again, which gets a bit frustrating. I would try and go for the bigger engine KM130

I did a similar thing and dislocated my shoulder, make sure you do the physio and rest it well. When they put my shoulder back in it felt fine after and I decided to just carry on as normal, did it on a friday, went clay pigeon shooting on sunday and was banging fence posts in on monday but a couple of months later i picked up a fence post on my shoulder and set off walking and the shoulder just fell out of joint no warning or pain just fell out and I had to go back to hospital, another couple of months later and i was climbing onto a trailer to unload at a hire shop and same thing it just fell out of socket and i was stuck at the hire place, then ended up having surgery on it and 3 months off work not being able to move my arm, all becasue i didn't leave it to heal properly when i first did it.

Wow IainW, now thats what I call stuck, makes my komatsu blunder look tame.

Used a 3 ton digger sat on bog mats to dig around it then ran a winch off a 6 ton tracked dumper and then just tracked and winched it out. Heres another one I had to help get un-stuck, it was on demo with there driver and he decided to drive through a wet hole, made it through 3 times but on the 4th it just sank

The top picture was me but the others I just had to help get them get un-stuck
