Query: Very Poor Reliability

I bought this saw two years ago on recommendation from my local Stihl/Husq dealer. I was tired of my old Craftsman/Sears breaking all the time, wanted a tough reliable chainsaw. At first, the saw seemed very nice--smooth, started, good power. But, within 8-10 operating hours I was stretching and tossing chains (went through 5), which then destroyed the plastic/tin cheap motor case area next to the gear. Realizing I was getting not enough oil to the chain, took it to the dealer who found out an internal oil gear stripped--nothing covered on warranty according to him, $180 bill to repair the damage caused by the lack of automatic oiling. Lately, I've had to constantly monitor the oiling, it stops at times. Basically, this thing's good for cutting your XMAS tree end, but not much else. My advice, but a "professional" saw for any of your needs. I've already spent the extra money that I would have w/ all the repairs, plus massive frustration.
