I agree wholeheartedly. I have a cousin that does pasture clearing, wood-cutting, sells firewood and builds fence for a living, and he's really sold on Sachs-Dolmar saws. He's got several, and they all run real well. They're just like Stihl, though - you're not going to buy them cheap, but you get what you pay for. I'm lucking enough to work for a JD dealership that also sells Stihl equipment, so I got my saws for cost plus 5% - very good deal. I bought my 044 first and cut with it for one winter alone, and then decided to get the 021 for limbing. I usually cut ash, hackberry, oak, hedge and other hardwoods. I knock the tree down with the 044, then grab the 021 to knock off the tops and chunk up the limbs, and then grab the 044 again when it's time to chunk up the trunk. Using the 021 saves a bunch of wear and tear on the 044 and me, as it's much easier to handle. It also saves the chain on the big saw, as I always seem to get a little dirt now and then while I'm limbing. There's nothing like heading out to cut wood for an afternoon with a good saw. I like it best when it's just cold enough that you can stay warm in long-johns, jeans and a good heavy flannel shirt - around 20 degrees or so is perfect.
