Sure happy with mine. 33" bar 3/8 skip tooth not much will stop it. Got a 30 YO Husqvarna 51 that I keep trying to kill with no luck. Its a lot more reasonable size for a backyard type of guy, 20" bar. It just keeps on truckin.
Get one that says Stihl or Husqvarna on it, pro model if you want it for years not the big box store Chinese ones. If you're a tree climbing arborist Echo also deserves a look.
