See sig

Ok I see but not everyone has that and its not all in one spot. My goal was to see how many people owned stihls and didint find much about it anywhere else i found how many saws you have but this is just stihl owners and what they liek and dislike about them.

I like their torque, solid feel, startability, durability, switch controls operation and location, quality, new gas and oil caps, air filter and filter access on the big saws.

I dislike their safety by the throttle.

I think they are very well engineered in general.

200T, favorite Stihl, one of the best all time saws, only climbing saw better is the 020 cause it has good caps.. All big saws, its a tossup for most, Husky gets my nod.

 

[JONSEREDFAN6069]

only stihl i have is my 026, nice saw, was a little bit of a dog till i opened up the muffler a bit and retuned, now she will cut everything i need, my 670 and 7900 are getting jealous i picked them up the other day and holy heavy not used to the extra weight. dont get me wrong i stihl like my jonsered and my dolmar but that little 026 will cut anything i throw at it now.

Added a few since then.

Add two more 660s and an 056 mag II since that pic, and an 021, 038 Super and an 046 that were MIA when the money shot was taken.

041FB- Torque galore! So far has NEVER failed to start and run....good. I'm sure there will be 041s in use when Jesus returns. Weighs 2 pounds less than a market hog! The last saw in my sig that I would part with.

031AV- Not as much torque for size as the 041 above, but in my opinion certainly one of the top ten chainsaws of all time. Built like a tank and given any maint. at all, will outlast the average firewood cutter. One of the best "truck saws" I've ever owned.

032AV- the 031 above on steroids and with a facelift. Better looking design but the weak rear handle is prone to cracking. Great firewood saw but not nearly as tough as the 041 or 031.

029 Super- Fine saw for the average firewood cutter/farmer. Plastic covering isn't as forgiving of abuse as the metal cased saws. Somewhat tedious to work on and heavier than the "pro line" of saws. I personally don't like the choke and ignition all in one, but that seems to be what they are all going to.

020AV- Great little lightweight, metal cased trimming saw. The ####ens for me to work on with my big, old, arthritic hands.

015AV- Lightweight, nimble, but just not a standout at anything. Anti-vibe not as well designed as most.

MS290 - Great saw, actually plenty for general purpose firewood cutting. Full skip chain on a 20" bar and it does really well. This saw has been bulletproof for me, it has never let me down. I've cut around 4 cords with it/yr for about 5 years now. Only time I had any trouble was operator error, didn't realize I bumped the chain brake and thought something was wrong with the clutch..oops Anyhow, I really like this saw, like it so much it's the reason I've become hooked on stihl products, had to replace the trimmer with a stihl, and now working on building a new saw to add to it.

066 - Building in progress. Bought a parts saw on ebay, tearing it down and rebuilding under way. Bigbore kit and many new parts on the way to complete the package. No experience yet, but I'm really excited about it.. :greenchainsaw:

Just one... my 044.

Stihl sucks!

hairy monkey balls.

Is this a "mule" deer?

The saw looks like an 044, and it does the job well, from the looks of it.....

Please fill me in. if ran 6 huskys and 5 of them had bad throtle responce but it was most likley owner error but they are well built saws no harm in having both. But why we an a hole

Actually, you condescended to tell everyone what to post, so naturally I had to make the point that your wishes mean just slightly less than a big steaming pile of compost scrapings to folks here.

Actually, the saws I currently own are listed on my profile page. But really, WGAS?

 

[snowyman]

First top handle saw I had new, 015.

Don't use these much now but they aren't bad saws: 009 x 2, 010, 012, 019t.


Favourite: 020T
Ms200T

Others:
024S
034
034S
and a BG85 Blower.

Never had a problem with any of them.

Here in the mountains of Franklin county Virginia a Still is better than a Stihl

 

[lmalterna]

JoeB,
Amen brother- my "Cherry cough medicine" is ready for pickup!



MS180- newish but I like the light weight and smooth revving

MS440- minty and my all over the place saw. does everything really well.

MS460- came to me real sick and may move on.


I run Dolmar and Husky as well... all make good/better/best quality saws.

Didn't Bruce Hopf do this to every friggin' brand before he got the boot?

Here's the Stihl one.

This topic doth sucketh. Sucketh, indeed.

066/MS660 (heat). Cons - the clutch springs, heat generator wires too filmsy, viberation (mount replacement often), mount recesses (crankcase) too exposed to damage. There are other things (air filter) etc. which in my opinion could be improved. Overall, I like the 066 for its dependability and its excellant power to weight ratio.

056 - just use once in awhile.
