I need a new 14 or 16 chain saw
Art, Just thought of it! I have been looking for the past 10 yrs for a copy of a video I borrowed from my Stihl dealer about 15 years ago.(back when we had a servicing dealer). It was a seminar on logging tecniques by Soren
Eriksen sp. I learned more from that 1/2 hr video than in the rest of my 40 yrs of cutting trees and firewood.I can't remember if he used Stihl or Husky. anyway, He started (The Game of Logging) Not the Timbersports, but the Training. Have you ever seen or heard of the video. Ron

I need a new 14 or 16 chain saw
After cussing the Poulan Pro that I had for about six years, I finally bought a "real" chainsaw this year. I say real because Stihl's products are the standard by which all two-stroke tools should be judged, IMO. I bought a STIHL MS 180 C-B Chain Saw, MiniBoss, and I'm impressed by the power and love the tool-less chain tensioning system. It might not be big enough for a lot of folks, but I've buried the 14" bar to the hilt in ash and it never slowed down.
I was so impressed, I bought a Stihl weedeater and have been equally pleased.
Sure, they cost a little more, but they deliver more as well. I'm sold on the brand.

I cast my vote for any Stihl, and refering to another users post I too have burried my 14" deep inside of lumber and never slowed it down. The exterior chain tightener is key, but only comes on the smallers machines. I also have a larger farm boss which is a beast of a saw. Both saws have contributed equally to the bucking of what eventually became 24 cords of pine fire wood- 7 years straight.
Aggresive blades help too.

I don't use a chainsaw real often, but when I do I want the thing to start. I bought a new Mccullogh in the 70's, a good saw, kinda heavy by today's standards, but with regular service it started like a champ till I loaned it to the WRONG relative. There is a real strong Sthil dealer in a nearby town whom I had heard had a good service dept., so after I got over the WRONG relative thing I just junked the old Mccullogh and bought a Sthil. I don't remember what model it is but it STARTS. I probanbly don't put 5 hours on it in two years, but I take it to the dealer every other fall, have them tune it up, sharpen, etc. I'm sure ther are other brands just a good, but having a good dealer with a good service dept. keeps me happy. I've always been kind of a tool collector and have some kind of pricey things around the shop that too many of the wrong type of people know about and are always wanting to borrow. I've had some bad experiences loaning tools in the past so after the chainsaw loaning deal we now have a hard and fast rule here about loaning anything more high tech than a sledge hammer. The rule states. "If God himself wants to borrow the chainsaw or any other tool, he can borrow it, all others need not apply". Happy chainsawing. Frank.

I'm sure at this point it's Stihl or Husky, but there are differences in each model of both kinds. I have noticed when a Stihl model has an even number in the middle it is a hundred bucks more or so. I think these are better made saws. I don't know the difference though. Husky also has 3 types. The XP models are the pro saws. The price also shows it's a different saw. I would get the smallest pro saw you need cause it will be the last saw you will buy if you're a casual user. Art said he's got an old 034 Stihl, I got one too and an 026. Nice saws but with the 034 you better really hang on, the 026 ain't half the animal. Don't ever cut when worn out or tired especially with the pro saws that buzz at 13-14,000 rpm's. It depends on you but I buy about the best these days cause at 44 years old I'm tired of saving an extra fifty cents to find me spending an extra dollar later on. By the way maybe Art can explain the differences in price between the same size Stihl and one is a hundred buck more?
