Scott, I learned a lot this year by talking to Tom G. He sells some chains that have made all the difference in my 16 inch bar Echo. My 12 volt sharpener also helps. RPM's quit interesting me when I decided to not build any more engines.

I also have a 25 year old BIG Stihl that I only use to cut down bigger trees. That doesn't happen much anymore because I don't enjoy splitting as much as I used to. It's also too big to get in and trim junk.

I've never heard of the Dolmar but the majority of the pro's that I know still use Stihl or Echo.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
