Mal,
Admittedly, not a ton of time on the saw. A lot of the area around my house is already clear of trees for farming so the saw doesn't come out too often. The areas that aren't have a lot of the mentioned large, old trees though.

From the videos I've seen you post your area is much more densely wooded than my area so I can see how you'd need to be using a saw more often and opt for something lighter.
