In Reply to: Buying a saw posted by notjustair on October 28, 2013 at 17:27:16:
I have a few saws all stihl. Have been happy with them and see no reason to buy anything else. They are expensive though.
I have a 018 stihl that I got for free put a piston/cylinder in it and has fast become my favorite cause it is light and uses micro mini chain and 14" bar that makes it cut fast for the size of the saw. I also have a MS260 with 16" .325 chain. I had a 20" bar at one time and it was too much for the saw in my opinion. My soon to be replaced 034 has been a workhorse. I use them all regulaly around the farm and cut firewood.
I think as an only saw I would have my ms260. Its expensive to buy new but will last a lifetime of mild use. If you look at the specs it has better power to weight and balance of the cheaper saws too. I feel the real key to good running saws in the age of the EPA is to use them regularly to keep the fuel fresh.
