Not bad at all. Between the drop in price and the (for me at least) endless supply of chains, you did all right.
I came across some extra funds today and got him off it for 375. Came with 27 chains and I think I figured out why he has so many. He never has links removed, just buys new chains. Spare chains are good for me that means I don't have to put out the coin for new ones all the time. 27 chains will probably get me by for a year or two. Anyways thanks for telling me what you guys think. I can't wait till tomorrow so I can play with my new toy.:chainsawguy:
You shouldn't ever have to remove links. What do you mean?
Also I pay 28.00 for my stihl chains so it's close to a thousand dollars worth of chains.
What kind of chain are they, and what condition are most of them in?
Anyway, the 391is too heavy for its power, and not a model I would want.....
Most of the chains are Stihl green label low kickback full chisel at 75% life. A couple are the DANGEROUS lumberjack killas that have the yellow safety rating (thats what i buy). Wish more were the lumberjack killas but since they aren't I can handle the green ones (just more of a pain for me to sharpen).
Went and looked at the saw and stuff yesterday and told him I would give him 475 just to see what he would say. He said yeah. Seriously I think it would be a pretty good deal. Counted the chains and don't ask me why but he has closer to 40 chains (says he buys them by the dozen even had a brand new one to put on when I ran the saw) and 6 rim sprockets plus an ES replaceable tip bar. The saw is in excellent shape and the piston is not scored and looks good. To me if I had that many chains I wouldn't have to buy one for a real long time. I guess he was cutting without a permit and has no interest in buying permits so he's gonna sell out. The deal doesn't seem fishy to me. Sure wish I had the cash but since I don't I will prolly just wait till I can afford a new 440 or something.
What??????? Why are you making an offer to buy a saw with funds you dont have???????
I'm cornfused!!!!:question:
.....
All the above is easily prevented. There should be no need to remove a link from a chain in it's life span.
Yes, and the MS391 is way too heavy for its power!
It is a model that really have no place in the market, but I guess Stihl marketing will create one anyway........

No, but the 391 is pretty close to the 6400 in power to weight, and both are a lot heavier than the MS361, that has the same power, except the US version. :doh:ST I love you man!! but the 391 is what it is, a great larger homeowner saw. No it's not a 361, but than again the 361 is no 6400/6401.
