Swaying towards Stihl

[csservices]

Never thought I'd say it as I've been running Husky's for a while now after bad experiences with my last two new Stihls but after this afternoon I'm tempted, long story short in the last week I lost a muffler bolt out of my Husky 350 so the exhaust wont stay on and then my 357 xp's recurring idle problem re-occurred, so having lots of firewood needing cutting my only option was to resurrect my old Stihl 028 AV Super from the back of the shed, this hasnt been used in anger for a good few years now but after some oil, petrol and a bit of tinkering to get it to tick over ok I cut a pile of logs ready for splitting twice the size i would get out of a tankfull of fuel with either of the Husky's and it still had some left in it So seriously considering a Stihl when I can afford to replace the Huskys

My mum's up down in Belper - Mount Pleasant.

 

It is crazy how economical the Stihls can be. I cut larch today for firewood, totalling 4.5 cubic metres (stacked) on 1.2 tanks with my MS260. What's that, about £2 worth of fuel and oil?

Just had a look on the bay - she has a nice Echo cs-4601 and Stihls MS230 C, 025 and MS250. Very reasonable prices!

Actually, she has some fairly mature beech (20-24 inch dbh, 60ft perhaps?) on the boundary that she needs reducing slightly. I think that she is still trying to come to an arrangement with the owners of the trees (and obviously apply for the legal permission to do so) but I would be quite happy to pass on any details if the job comes to fruition.
