Hello all,
I was wondering if any of the CSM pros have bought their chainsaws/mills used thru ebay and have had any success.
My current situation makes if more likely to make a purchase on ebay. I'm looking at a Stihl ms 440 and was wondering if that would be a big enough saw considering the following:
1) I'm not going to be milling every weekend. Just when a family/friend has a downed tree. (1st tree will be a 25" Ash)
2) < 25" Oaks and Poplars would be my staple.
I know everyone recommends the bigger is better approach, but the jump from a 70cc machine (MS 440) to a 90 cc machine is a bit much.
Do I wait until I can afford the MS 660 or can I get my feet wet with a 440 and still be satisfied enough to continue milling, possibly getting the 660 as a second saw in the future?
First saw recommendations?
Tnx!
