Howdy folks,
Sorry to ask what may be an obvious question to the experts,but I've been thrown in the deep end,and have already bought the wrong saw once,and dont want to do it again, so hope someone can help.
I recently became employed to do forestry and management on 380 acres of eucalypt forest here in Australia.
Work includes falling smaller trees(up to 2 foot diameter) and preparing them for firewood.
Our small local town only has a Stihl dealer so i decided on a Stihl.
He reccomended an MS 250 model,saying that it would be adequate for what I was doing.
Its a nice little saw,and works fine for preparing the thinner tops, but lacks guts for larger limbs,and i really need something bigger,and more "professional"(less homeowner?).
I would like to stay with Stihl, and will keep the 250, so would want a marked step up in power , quality, and longevity.
Could anyone please give me some direction on this?
some independent and expert advice would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
Skip
