This is a real chainsaw, none of your fancy anti-vibration, heated handles, safety this and low noise that.
All you need to operate this is a pair of tackety boots and a pipe - and of course a high degree of skill. I'm sharpening it up with a new rip chain for making slabs - up to 3 feet - this coming season. Made in 1965, this Stihl 07 S is, at 74cc, quite simply a monster. But it chews through hardwood like nothing else and is still going strong. They really don't make them like they used to.

Thankyou for the reply. I was thinking getting a 30" bar but you may have swayed me now to get a 36"!!
