Is that 15 tons logged over 6 years, or per year? I have a ms390 that cut 150 cubic meters last year, and about 100 the year before, and in the 3 years before that probably 80/100 cubic meters. It is on a 16" bar and is still in good condition, I look after my kit! I would think a ms231 or 250 would be more than man enough for your needs. keep it sharp, use a saw horse and clean it as often as is possible, and it will last!

Stihl are good saws but really have come down a fair few pegs in recent years . This is from personal experiences .

 

This is what is worrying me a bit. Is it really worth me spending £400 on a saw that will last say 8-10 years when I can pick up a cheapy for £90 that will last say 3 years ?

 

Electric saws on the other hand do seem to last a lot longer.

That was over 6 years, most of it was hardwood (Oak and Sycamore).

 

Are the Stihl Picco duro chains worth the extra money?
