What do chain saws and women have in common?
Some are self lubricating, others needs a little priming. Both, if not handled properly will kick and cut the shite out of you.

Nice!
I used a 372 when I worked for a tree service. We took out big a$$ trees with that thing.

Also ran tree crews for a couple of years and I'm with khanom, that looks like overkill for the task you were describing. But, you already have it so I'd also say the Stihl helmet and chaps are a necessity and, as was mentioned, being able to keep chains sharp. Dull chains make the saws incredibly dangerous - if you have even the slightest doubt, then stop and sharpen the chain or better, have a sharpened spare or two along with you. Get this as well:

Don't f*#k around with saws - either figure out how the pros use them or skip it altogether...

lol, no amber wasn't running the saw, she can't hardly pick it up!
DEFINITLY not overkill. after a 235 and a 455 that were definitely not up to the task, this thing is perfect. i use it 3-4 days a week and she's fantastic. enough saw to do pretty much anything, and small enough for me to handle all day.

" I was up at a lake at timberline in the Yosemite National Park back in the mid seventies an we had a chainsaw... "
Yeah , I thot it ironic Warbler using saw for limbs and "crotches" when ice was available . There is actually an O.G. STF member named chainsaw who has some good (searchable) posts for perusal if you wanna go there .

New toy bump.
My wife's been having all the fun buying furniture for our new house, I figured it was time for me to get a little action.
