Why so anti Stihl? 

I just think they're over-hyped, over-rated, and over-valued, like most German products.

 

Then on top of that there's a Stihl dealer about 5mins away and they are worse than hopeless.

 

Furthermore, whatever I buy will have a carburetor with screws.

 

I'm also old enough to claim the right to be stubborn and intransigent. Lets face it, there's few enough benefits of getting older so don't deny me that one!

Definately 40cc 14" bar , plus yr not screaming it all day , must be a nice job K

Not really a job as such, it's my own!

I was going to tell you how wrong you were with the first line of that post, then I saw the last line.

 

Not sure there's any helping you so why are you asking?!

[coppice cutter]

My only bottom lines are that I won't be buying Stihl, or electronically fueled.

 

If your only option involves either or both of these, then I guess you're not the person to be answering either!

What about 12in bar vs 14in bar, is that splitting hairs if the saw was right?

 

I'm not at all familiar with small saws, always been 18in or more since I were a lad.

Why are you so keen on a 12" bar in my opinion its too short for coppicing,i prefer 15"

[coppice cutter]

I'm not, I was told by someone doing the same work that I needed a 12in.

 

However, I'm not set on it as I don't know, thus I was asking.

 

I did say that there were only two bottom lines!

 

Anyway, why do you consider the 12in to be too short?
