Newbie here looking for some advice. In this region about the only saws you see are stihls. I can't say I'm completely sold on them, i have a 036 pro, ms250, and an old 610 mac. We end up cutting alot of large cottonwood trees for firewood, about 15 cords a year. I would like to get a saw that will pull a 28 to 36 inch bar. I have always been attracted to the idea of a cs8000 echo, partly because of the price, and partly because i am sick of stihl. Recently i found a local guy with a mint 272xp, i have not seen it in the woods but was very impressed with this saw in my hands and it sounded wicked.
I guess what i am looking for is some advice, they always say you get what you pay for, but with what i have payed for my stihls i am open to something completely different. Will a 272 pull a 28 or 32 inch bc in cottonwood, run skip or full comp?
Not looking to start an echo vs husky war but looking for some thoughts between them because locally nobody knows much about them. Thanks
