Howdy all! So here in north central Idaho we have plenty of logging. I am not a logger myself, but know plenty of them. More than a few trees have fallen and plenty of cords to my trusty Stihl 038. (A saw that Ray Benson was kind enough to provide a service manual for, so big "Attaboy" to him!).
Recently, I needed to pick up a second back up saw and for lighter work. The 038 is a lot of things, but lightweight is not one of them! I ran over to pick up an MS 271. Not a pro saw, but why do so many guys bad mouth them on this and other forums? Is it just the usual internet thing or is there something legitimately wrong with the saw?
