I gave up with 2 cycles. Even the local small engine and mower shop quit selling 2 cycles. Too unreliable. I was spending about 1/3 of my time fighting with the saw.
I use a palletized contractor generator and Oregon plug in electric saw. Dragging the cord would be a PITA if I was making firewood, but I'm just clearing land. I plan on eventually replacing the independent generator with a PTO driven generator.
Above is a mention of chaps and electric saws. The Oregon does stop the blade almost immediatly when you take your finger off of the trigger. The motor takes time to wind down, but the blade stops. Holding the trigger may cut through chaps though.
