yes have used stihl for years, first chainsaw in the 70s. for real hilly areas i have been using the biggest robi battery one. they are so much lighter to carry around and pretty amazing if you put heavier string in them. they run around 150 at HD. i have gone through 3 but, if you are paying someone 20 an hour, they last longer than paying the worker. (who doesn't work). i have been slowly filling pukas with cinder, slowly leveling everything so i can use a mower in more and more areas, figuring by the time i am 80 i won't want to do this (lol). but then, my mother in law who is 96 is still driving her tractor around and weeding her tomatoes and grapes in oregon. here in the acres we just try to keep the jungle at bay...
