Chainsaw love
Chainsaw love
All chainsaws are the same, right?

When we bought the house, I quickly realised that a chainsaw would be needed....So I went to Le Clerc Meridien and bought a very sexy looking McCulloch.
After a few months I realised that it wasn’t very good. My wood cutting expeditions would see me getting ready, loading fuel, axes, chainsaw, loppers, oil, tools etc into a wheelbarrow, wandering off into the woods and then spending an hour trying to get the pigging saw running.
I’m usually pretty good with mechanical things, it’s rare for me to be stumped. I spent a year messing around with it. Eventually I took it to a chainsaw repair place in Vic en Bigorre. The man said the problem with the saw was that it was total merde.
So I bought a used Stihl on Ebay, cheap because it needed a clutch, straightaway is is light years better - ie it runs and cuts wood.
