My 20” Stihl 391 melts through logs kzfaq.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 but I find myself grabbing this Oregon more because it’s quit and theirs no engine maintenance. You still need to maintain the chain and bar though. It cuts great even though it doesn’t have the power or weight of a gas saw, and the bucking spikes work really well, almost too well actually. I actually burnt up the motor on my first one using the bucking spikes. I pushed it too much through cottonwood, but I liked it enough to buy a second one. I make sure not to get the motor too hot now and it’s been running great. It’s still heavy enough with enough power to melt through most cuts too. When it stops cutting so well make sure there aren’t wood chips stuck in the chain and don’t let the chips clog the saw. Remember when you see sawdust instead of chips it’s time to sharpen the chain. I tried the self sharpening, I didn’t think it worked that well. I like that when you let go of the trigger the chain stops almost immediately. It’s tool less adjustment and bar removal is a snap. Like all saws they leak bar oil, so don’t store it full, and open the cap just a little to prevent pressure from ambient temperature changes. I store it on a piece of cardboard on a tote lid to contain any mess. Make sure you get some bar oil with the saw, it comes with just enough for you to start cutting but run out before you’re finished with whatever you’re cutting.
