I had 2 Makita corded 16 inch bar chainsaws that failed on me electrically (ok I was working them too hard cutting up logs up to 1m in diameter) I noticed Marinkos Mowers near me had an ex field day Oregon 18 inch electric saw for $100 on Marketplace. Got the saw home and started into the logs and went back to the shop and bought another 2 of them, such a brilliant saw. 3 seconds to sharpen the chain, just a pleasure to use and buckets of power. I was looking at a $3000 log splitter but my concern was having to store it once I had finished with it and probably only use it for a day once a year. The saws may be a bit slower but I can use them anytime because they are quiet and unlike my Stihl I don't have to stop and start it all the time while I move the logs around to cut them. I doubt I will ever use my Farm Boss again and I bought that for $850 back in 1984 and it has never let me down, such a beautiful saw as well
