Thanks jetsam, I've only had polans before and figured it was time to upgrade. I believe the big log in the pic is white oak? The cs 490 rips through no problems with plenty of power. What a difference! Long term we will see.

My little saw is a 30cc Echo and it has been great since I opened up the exhaust, adjusted the carb, and put a yellow chain on it.

You can pull the Echo carb limiters with a wood screw.
 
I have a Bantam also, I pull it around my woods with the quad. Perfect size, but it's showing its age. Will need a little attention soon. What are those wheels off of?
 
D8, Don't know what the wheels are off of sorry. I can take a pic if you'd like.
What chain should I get? I got the 20" 18" and 16" bar for the saw.

Mine has a large bolt pattern, I'd have to look at it to even know how many lugs it has. It's been awhile since I've used it. If you can that would be cool, but no hurry. The tires are dry rotting but I don't use it on the road since I got my M-101A2
 
Looks like you have a nice little operation there. Perfect setup. Never used an echo saw before but if it's like any of there other stuff it's built pretty tough. If it's going through the that oak no problem you are set. Looks like a fun day in the woods!

This is mine, I'll have to measure the bolt pattern. Maybe 5 on 5.5? Thanks for the pic
