Bought a new 455 a month ago. Now putting it through the trial period. This saw with the 18 inch bar is amazing for its price point($399.95). I moved up from a stihl 025 - have 2. I am chunking jack pine up to 32-36 inches. I chunked 11-13 cords of wood over a two day period. It never powered down and worked great. Just starting to split it now. The challenge is getting the large chunks on the splitter. I used a ramp the other day which worked ok. The splitter is home made and we have to do some maintenance this winter. My buddy and I built it about 7 years ago... we have run about 60 cord through it so far. I suggested to him the other day that we rebuild it so that it can tilt vertically...
The stihls will be used for limbing etc. There are both goods saws but I am pushing the limit in terms of being able to chunk large stuff - 28 inches+.
