In The Weeds
ArboristSite Operative
My neighbor talks very well about several different brands of chainsaws and agrees that just about every maker has good models. The thing is, he always tells me I should buy a Stihl and that he only buys Stihls. The other funny thing is, he never really gives any hard reasons why. I find this a lot on this site where people post things like "just buy a Stihl!" and "Stihl is the best!", a lot of times without any rational reasoning behind their statements. Are these folks just compensating for the extra money they spend on their saws or is there some mind-altering chemical in the Stihl brand oil that is inhaled during operation, causing a Manchurian Candidate effect?
