Thanks. I appreciate the time spent on your response. We have About a third of that. I don't fell much unless it's a potential danger. Usually just chopping up dead fall after storms to clear trails.

Are they overkill if I plan to run it 5-6 hours in a go? Just curious because mine will eventually die and we don't have a Mcculloch dealer anywhere close whereas Stihl is like 2 miles away and the local owners are super nice.

TBH you can buy whatever bars and chains you want so long as the size is correct for your model. I use laser laminated bars and their aggressive chains because I don't want to be out there all day when I'm just going to burn the wood in a year. I didn't even know premix gas was a thing. I just buy ethanol free gas and add oil to it. Stihl kinda got me on my string trimmer where if I bought a 6 pack of their preferred oil they extended the warranty by 3 years for the $15 it cost.

A plug, bar, and chain was $150? Seems expensive. I bought two bars and three chains for my mcculloch for $45.

We have a 50 gallon and there are only two of us so I think we will be okay. I'd go tankless but the water heater was just replaced prior to us buying the house so it doesn't seem like a good investment atm.

I have a well and had abysmal pressure in my shower head despite the system sitting at 60psi. Removed the restrictor and it was a game changer. I felt a bit bad but the excess water goes into the leach bed anyways so..
