I was a boy in the 70's. My Grand daddy had a Mac and I was afraid of it. Big, yellow,long bar and sounded like a monster. When I was big enough to run it. I knew I was somebody. You are spot on with that saw. They are just fantastic.

Oh hell yeah! My grandfather had one too - it was huge, it was angry and scared the hell outta me! I was just a little guy in the early 70s but remember him struggling just to pull the damn thing over. Once that beast fired I just wanted to escape with my arms and legs intact. It would idle its way across the driveway if you let it and man, that thing was heavy.

I grew up with an old Homelite saw, not nearly that big. Used it around our farm for clearing fallen trees and keeping the edges of the fields in check. We also had a pair of vintage Pioneer saws. Didn't use them much, they were huge for what we needed most of the time, but they came out for big stuff. Those old saws could be tempermental to get tuned in and start sometimes. but when they went, they just didn't give a hoot what was in front of them. We used one of those Pioneers to cut up a building. A building. Into 3' by 8' sections we could load on the old farm truck to haul to the local dump. i was too young to handle it at that time, my older brother got to do it. he has the saw running in his hands standing next to this old youngstock building, laughs and asks my Pa "how am I supposed to do this?" to which my Pa told him" just start cutting, that saw won't care. make some squares or somthing. Don't let it kick back on you." So my brother wound it up and plunged it into the wall and was laughing the whole time as he sawed a line down towards the ground. Old pro grade saws were raw power. EPA has interfered with new ones. Because you know, running a chainsaw will destroy the ozone or something. Can't wait until they tell us we can only have electric ones.
