I thought all Stihl's were hard on the cranking because of good compression. I know my 250 feels kind of hard for the first two pulls then it starts.

No offense taken at all, I posted it because I thought the same, the cord broke almost midway.

UPDATE: Well had the 250 for almost 2 months & 2 chain resharpens and today the crank cord gave way. It seems this is an ongoing cycle, happened several times with my Poulan and once for the Stihl but the Stihl cranks "everytime" I still love that part. I've run a couple of gallons through the...

Poulan PR4016 I would gladly pay twice the price if it were as reliable as the Stihl

Hey guys, this is an Excellent saw! It starts everytime. I'm just busting that this thing does exactly what it's suppose to. I glad I started with the Poulan, it shows me how a chainsaw is suppose to operate.

You're just SPOILED!!:D BTW 4.5, that's fantastic

I was using a Poulan and it's worn out within 13 months, I just bought a MS250 and what a Saw! I love the no priming before starting, most of the time choke is not required, boy I love this Stihl!

I just bought the Ms250 and the ACE Hardware guy told me 50:1, should I use 40:1?

I am sick and tired of only being able to start the Poulan once a day, it seems I have to keep it running while adding fuel and bar oil because if I shut it off that's it, it will not start til tomorrow. I solved that issue, I bought a Stihl MS 250 and MAN this is the it! It feels so solid and...

ok King brown noser:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I use this on my climbing rope the prussik slows me down but I use it for other applications

are you calling the flipline you referred too the safety lanyard? Echo I believe he's calling the flipline the safety lanyard??? If so this will confuse many new arborists, I call a safety lanyard something that prevents me from falling, a flipline aids me advancing up the tree.

Since The trees are so high that’s how I feel about It, climbing and then tying off. I know that’s not the right way to do it but it’s the easiest way to do it since they’re so high.

Thank you Echo. Finally someone answered the question:clap:

you get dragged through the mud because 30 vets get hurt and loose fingers and limbs as well, quit pissing in the wind, I'm not interested in your opinion just the opinions of my question.

I'm asking because I would like to know their way of doing it because not everyone does it the same, and if you did hear of someone in a arborist accident you wouldn't know it was me:rolleyes: I don't need concern replies, answer the question or just move on, I'm not interested in your acting...

yeah you do that, wait maybe you already did and fell on your head, that explains the ignorant reply or brave reply

so what! I asked a question, I didn't ask only 30yr experience reply. those that did don't know the answer anyways, their answer is "hire someone" what a stupid answer! This forum is for asking questions and not for people answering to parrot what they read.

btw quit brown nosing, it'a pathetic
