Need opinions on a "starter saw" for a young man. He's sawed a little under very controlled conditions but ready for the next step.
They are looking at a lighter saw than his Dad's MS290. Not that he's too young but it would be a little easier to limb with. His Dad would like a lighter saw for that, too.
I have an MS 250 as a backup saw which I've really liked and so do they. I've also looked at the Echo models since I have an Echo trimmer I really like. Great trimmer, especially for the money. Just like my MS 250 in a saw.
If you have any experience with these models, I'd like to hear your comments.
Either brand can be purchased from servicing dealers the same distance away.
