You know what they say: " Buy the best and only cry once."

I've had to do some searching ... I thought the Stihl 029 (It's not the "Super")
was smaller than what you mentioned. but, it is 54.1 CC. Yes, on 20".

I will say I agree with Beuhler most chainsaws will do very well if you take care and keep chain sharp and cleaned of pitch. Cedar is sappy and is a bastard on saws found that out clearing centerline for Wilson Creek National Battlefield in Republic Mo.

Not to worry ... "de-rails" are fun too.
Way back in the dark ages I worked on the "chain crew" of the county engineering. We didn't have chainsaws back then ... only the blades and axes. We were only surveying roads and doing the "compaction tests." When I see sink holes on new roads I know what caused it.

Yep! At least that is what I found ... up to 20".
