Just bought a MS170 off my brother in law for $100. Didn't need it, but he needed the money and wouldn't take a handout. (The answer is "NO" for those with replies offering to take his handout lol). I have an 029 Farmboss which has treated me well for 11 years. Have a Husky 155 (I think) with 18" bar that has been nice for smaller stuff. Definately lighter than the 029. Is the 170 decent for anything? For what it is worth, the thing doesn't have any paint scratched off the bar yet. Opinions. Let it sit? Give it to my Dad when the piece of Poulan poop he bought last year quits? Try to sell? For $100 I can't complain, I just don't know if it is worth keeping if I am not going to use it much. It sure is light though.
