Semi pro saw choice

[doobin]

Can I draw your attention to the heading of this thread?. "Semi pro saw choice". What I suggested is a semi pro saw. You seem to have suggested 2 pro saws. Are you finding this a bit difficult?

 

Mate, if you're this much of a knob in real life it's a wonder you have any customers at all. No wonder you're such a fan of Stihl protectionism.

 

I found the MS391 to be a pretty shoddy saw. Shame really because other Stihl 'homeowner' saws such as the MS251 are most excellent value for money.

No need for rudeness, it's a very popular saw for us, we sell loads of them, mostly with the 20" bar.

My point exactly. Crawl back under your stone won't you?

Stop feeding it and it will go away.

Sometimes it's just very tempting, I know.

I'd suggest the echo or husky as a occasional user having a pro saw gives much more confidence and I find them alot easier to use

I have recently bought a 560XP to replace my elderly Husky 50 which is presently undergoing surgery. Both have an 18 inch bar.

Was going to have a 550 but could not get one locally, but the 560 while a bit heavier has loads more grunt than the 50. Flies through big stuff when ringing up.

 

You do have to learn the start technique, I have mastered the cold start just about but not the hot start yet.

 

I am by no means a pro, I use the saw when processing logs for the firewood side of my business and a bit of odd woodland work on the farm. Maybe 30-40 days a year.

I'd say that makes you a pro. There's not that much to using a chainsaw safely.
