I just dropped 1 of 4 pine trees with my ole stand-by stihl 039 . Wife had to leave the house she thought I was going to hit it . I told her I could land it on a quarter, pick the spot .
For small light duty trimming that saw should work great . But I will take a gasser all day for most things . Stihl 170,029 and 039 are my go to.
