i am wondering what you guys think would be a good chainsaw for almost daily use, I would like something a bit older, I like these vintage chainsaws, I have a few but I want to see what you guys think
porbally bucking and falling trees and about 15-25 or inch trees. just a bigger saw, I got some smaller ones but not a bigger oneTo do what with?
For what species of timber?
What size of timber?
Falling or bucking?
Vintage for a pro daily user- you might need therapy.
Hell yeah, I bought 10 big Stihls. One of them actually ran good enough to cut some wood and the rest of them worked great for weighting down the ass-end of my pick-up this winter.Buy a big stihl, You don’t want a pile of junk from ikea. 066 or a 660 stihl is in your future.
that is also a good use for them. i don't have any "junkers" yetHell yeah, I bought 10 big Stihls. One of them actually ran good enough to cut some wood and the rest of them worked great for weighting down the ass-end of my pick-up this winter.
This is everything to me. General questions like this without enough specifics have become common, rather than seeing what's available to them and doing research on those saws themselves, then maybe asking for some thoughts. Everything I've bought is opportunistic, getting bargains, not deadset on any brand or model. By and large they're all great saws, even the twenty year old Gen I 455 Ranchers I've always viewed as red headed stepchildren lol. My entire saw collection has cost me only around $2000 (the MS780 was brand new but got it for only $950), before repairs/rebuilds which I probably have another $1000 in.It will be down to what you can find at the right price for you
