Moral of the story - mind the blade!
I agree. Where I work we have stihl and jonsered they were good saws for sure but finicky and really were not well suited for the abuse so many crews who didnt care gave them. The best saw we had and the one I always chose if it was available a 18 in Homelite. We bought that saw on way to jobsite from payless cashways. We had the Stihl and jonsered in shop for maintenance and needed now. That sucker is still kicking no telling how many miles of line that saw has cut out of a forest.
