    That's a early 2000's MS170 or 180 as Mauser308 has said. Dad has one in the shed the same for fencing.

    I've had all sorts, started working on chainsaws when I was 13. Don't use them as often now. Currently have Stihl 660, 440, 461, 391, 200. I love the 461 and 200t. Still do a bit of chainsaw pruning and thinning when I get time. Good to spend a couple hours in the trees with the contractors, they appreciate when the person telling them what to do each day can do the job they're doing.

    This was my pride and joy when I was 18. Husky 395, they scream. This was probably the fittest I ever was, it was painful to carry all day in the bush with fuel and spare gear for the day. We'd walk several kms in a day, and often several hundred metres between trees that met spec.

    It was a Boeing Vertol 107, Columbia Helicopters operated it here for a couple of years.

    If you flogged a trolley you could wheel it around. Imagine the energy savings for yourself.

    Had a little family get together, dragged them from under benches and other hide-e-holes, never realized just how many I owned, either that or they are breeding among themselves...I only use one these days and not often...I guess I should look at getting shot of a few.

    My first saw was a Pioneer 2400. Quite a grunty saw for the era. No anti vibe though or if it did have it never worked. Quite a tiring saw to use vibe wise. All screws were loctited in to keep them tight. It died under a large macrocarpa crushed into a million bits. Lack of experience on my part.

    I was also given a much older Pioneer. Yellow model with manual oiling and glass bowl fuel filter. I intended to use it as a go kart motor but never got the project off the ground. It too was probably better suited as a museum piece.

    The 2400 was replaced by an 045AV. On a visit to the Kauri museum a few years back I saw an exact example of my 045.
    I still have that saw but the motor has long since been fitted to an older Stihl BT360 auger.
