Hi all.
I’ve been threatening to purchase a new chainsaw for awhile now. Tomorrow is decision time, as I need it for Canada day weekend.
I am looking at the stihl 462 or the Makita 7900.
What I need help with is the bar length. This will be a firewood saw, although first job is taking down a huge spruce on the yard.
Is a 28” bar too much for the stihl? The balance is good I read, correct? How’s the balance with the Makita?
Also, is the Makita as well built as a stihl?
It may be silly, but I still dont know which saw to get. The Makita or the stihl. There are service dealers close to me for both. Both dealers don’t have any stock of the saws I’d be buying, so I’m buying blind either way.
Input, as always is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
