I got to defend my homelite timberman  Iput this saw through lots work my area was hit by atornado.  lots if trees down  even loaned it , that could of went bad.  Any way I cut harrd wood  as large as 3 foot diameter.    The clutch got so hot the brake seized it up.  removed brake kept sawing.  I have never had it to hard start ,pump 7 times on primer buld choke 2 pulls.   It did plug up bar with chips and locked it up , gee clean out bar oncehesein while.  I do suggest to buy  a narrow kerf chain to ease cutting .  original anti kick so it doesn'"t  jump up a jab your head.   any of  these saws will cut with right combination.   I also purchase a stihl 210 c  goo saw ,  my son used it to cut .  However I got an Old 240 Homelite and drag raced in same log and cut faster.   I also tried echo ran fine still had problens with chains dulling quick,  


all in all I  still use antique 240 it sharpens easy 5/16 file .   does start hard its old ,  alittle starter fluid  carb punp weak , gee 26 years old can I complain?     Another thing need back on saws is manual chain oll pumpers need it when deep in log ,  chips suck all oil away.   Any way theirs a viideo called homelite vs. 44 magnum.  to watch.   As soon as the whether breaks I going to make a husky owrner  a believer will put the saw in same log,  loser buying lunch.



Hillbilly,  Hope to hear somethin from ya'll
