Stupid quote of the year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
feel free to use my quote any time you like..
you could even put it in your sig underneath your "electric log splitter"
I'm not a fan of these saws, but I entirely disagree with you. No way does a 9# MS180 look like a 60cc saw I loved the tooless chain adjuster. It works just fine on a saw that size. And they cut plenty fine for what they are. Your comments come across as nothing more than an off the wall rant.
Well Brad,nice start but why a "rant" ?? i was just voicing "MY" opinion on the experiance i had ( have ) with the 180.
as for " they cut fine for what they are" ,,thats true,they "are" underpowered ,slow,oversized,heavy for what they are,but they "are" what they "are",so i guess they cut good for what they are..stihl's answer to the box store saws.
i am not the only one that dont like the tooless adjuster,it sucks..
again "my" opinion..
ok,i may have been off on the 60cc comparison,,and i dont have a 60cc to compare to like the pix i have comparing it to a 50cc saw..
looking at the pix you will see weight comparison,note 50cc saw has 18 in bar and a lot more gas in it.also so old it dont even have a chain break..
note in the pix saw size between a 32cc saw and a 50cc saw..
i think the pix comparing size will prove my statement the saw is oversized..also overweight for a small CC sized saw.. my $100 craftsman 30cc is 10 lbs with a 16 in bar with 1/2 tank gas..is easier to handle and faster in the cut..
so there are the facts,with pictures,and "my" opinions..
also,i let an arborist cutting trees over my house use the 180 and the craftsman,,,he finished the job with the craftsman $100 saw..
like i said,the MS180 is NOT a "real" stihl..
BTW,Brad,that sachs dolmar 50cc was the one i did the exhaust port on using you info you have shared..came out very well thank you..
