I have 6 gas chainsaws, 2 are Homelites, the old XL series Homelites were good saws, replaced about 10 yrs ago w. new models. The 35 cc 14'bar is still a pretty good saw, has no chainbrake, use it around my farm for trimming but the Timberman 45 cc 18" bar is prone to breakdowns and hard to use, handle feels loose because of rubber anti-vibration mountings, chain brake has tendency to snap on while in use, oil pump on mine broke so must manually oil with a can, engine seems OK but I'd recommend spending the extra money for a Husky or a Stihl.
