Any chainsaw / firewood cutting experts on here?

On the timber forums they seem to get good and bad. The guys who forget it isn't a pro saw pick them apart. The people that realize it's a 3HP light duty farm/home owner saw have great things to say. Cut some 18 inch Norway maple today, it did what it was supposed to do. Glad I didn't buy the 17+ pound Echo after, great considered. Getting too old for a saw that heavy.
