Hello,
First time Poster.
Want to buy a chain saw for very occasional use around house.
Nothing big. Just shrubs, branches, etc.
Have narrowed it down to a Stihl or the Husrvqua (apologize for the spelling ?).
This has probably been asked a zillion times, but does one have a meaningfully
better reliability record than the other ?
Main thing for me is that it start, easily, after prolonged non-usages.
Is the Stihl 170 a good bet ?
Do they all come out of the box with a 16 inch chain ?
So many Posts that it is great, and so many that it is junk.
Any consensus on ? Caveats ?
Does it make more sense to go to the Stihl 171 ? Why ?
What does Husv. have that is comparable to the 170 ?
A better choice than the 170 Stihl ? Why ?
Couldn't see any in their abridged listings ?
Much thanks.
Appreciate the help,
Bob
