Yes, the correct answer. You win the prize.
Why are so many people drawn to Stihl is it because thats what dad used or the cool logger down the road who rolls his cigarettes up in his sleeve uses. Ya they have dealers in most counties. Is it because people think since the saws and saw parts are more expensive than others they should be better in quality?
those are revvy, torqueless, plastic.
Stihls are made in Germany, why they last forever...
uh oh :greenchainsaw:
John, I started out cutting firewood many years ago with Homelites and a POS Mac. That Mac would really cut if....you could get it started. I tried to teach it to fly on several occasions. Finally traded it for my first Stihl (032) and still have it. Why, that was a whole new world for me! I've had several Stihls since and still have them all (cept for my 041 that someone never brought back). I am not all that brand loyal as I have recently picked up some Dolmars, BUT, I would never give up my Stihls (well maybe the 029S) as those old saws have warmed my house for many years and have ALWAYS started when I need them.
I think dealer support is a very important regardless of brand. I have to drive 20 minutes for Stihl and 30 minutes for Dolmar. Our local Stihl dealer went from a one man operation to a rental store. (Sales..no service), so, I have to drive either way. So far I really like the Dolmars but....the jury is still out...ask me again in 10 years.
Buy a beaver!
They have orange teeth which never stop growing. That's the right colour/color for most on the site and also never need to have teeth replaced or sharpened.
The beaver keeps his fur waterproof by grooming castorium oil throughout the fur; the castor gland is found near the tail. No need to pre-mix before setting to work or worry about mix ratios or bar oil.
The trails that cut trees make as the beaver hauls them to the water are called drags. Creates pathways and even hauls all the wood it cuts.
Beaver are nocturnal animals; while they are seen during the day, much of the beavers' work is accomplished during the evening and night hours. They even work while you are sleeping!
Most of the beaver's diet is made up of tree bark and cambium, the soft tissue that grow under the bark of a tree. They especially like the bark of willow, maple, birch, aspen, cottonwood, beech, poplar, and alder trees. You keep the wood to burn and the beaver keeps the bark.
Beavers can live to be 20 years old. No need to update or overhaul every few years.
So, don't buy Stihl or Husqvarna, buy a beaver.
I would have to guess Mahle?Ok, Who makes Mahle ?
I would have to guess Mahle?
I'm pretty sure a few different countries including the US.haha ok where is Mahle made?
German made/designed/engineered products are widely considered the BEST in the world. From Autos, to chainsaws.
It also helps that Mr. Stihl invented the chainsaw.
Afraid of the Truth?
But yeah, nothing good cam come of this thread...lots of little orange Kool-Aid drinkers running around with their fingers in their ears yelling " LA LA LA LA LA LA LA "
Hi there, everybody!
I'm new to the site, so please correct me if I'm wrong - but is RED-85-Z51 the on-duty crap artist around here? I've read quite a lot of his ramblings, so I'm aware of his Stihl problem/fixation/disturbance (as in the present thread), but also his technical/practical concepts appear to be highly unorthodox (to put it mildly) ... Strange, very strange ...
