You know you're going to get a million different answers, don't you? I've got a Stihl 320 and 360, both with 24" bars and 1/4" chains. They're ok so long as I've got the R's cranked, and they are high RPM saws. The 360's timing changes for load though, the 320 doesn't. They're both serious gas hogs too. I just picked up a 670 Echo, but aint used it yet. 24" bar, 1/4" chain and another seriously high RPM saw. Its supposed to be industrial grade, and it'll probably do fine after I file down those depth guards on the chain first so it can even get a decent bite, I suppose. I got it while dropping off my old Lombard with a 24" bar and 1/4" chain. Now, that's by far my favorite and most used. It's lower RPM than the others, but I can stall it in a cut, restart it and take off in a cut, horizontal too. I can't do that with my Stihls, and doubt I can do it with the Echo. I'll take that old Lombard over any one of them. It's absolutely getting fixed (warn bushings), cause I aint never giving it up. I guess it depends on what you're going to do with it. One or two guys cutting, another guy sharpening the other saw(s) into the rotation. I start with my Lombard, I finish with my Lombard until the small stuff. I've got an old Homelite with an 18" bar and an old McCulloch with a 14" bar, both 5/32" chains. They make good bucket saws cause they're lite, and they can handle smaller stuff. A 3/8" chain would be nicer if my saws had the guts for it, but I'm sure none of them do and I aint paying the kind of money for a saw dependable enough to handle a 3/8" chain. Mine do OK for what I need them to do though.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
