My wife has a ms250 with the goofy pull start. she likes it because it is easy for her to pull start. I don't like it because I forget and go to drop start it and about punch my self in the nose with no compression behind the pull

I bought the wife a 260 pro couple christmasas ago she loves it treats it with great care listens to instructions very attentivly I have never seen her abuse it in any way. I dont really think you have to go cheap. We cut up a big maple blow down a few years ago with our neighbor and his dad hes a loggerdads a retired logger the were in aw of her cutting style and productivity. Dont under estimate her. Best investment ive ever made.

Echo CS-370 or CS-400. Great little saws, good power, easy starting, and can be had new or lighty used on Ebay for less than $200.....Cliff

She picked up my 460 after I bought it......said it was too light....


:greenchainsaw:

There you go! give her the 460, and get your self a 660. Simple and her chainsaw was already purchased, so your new chainsaw does not need to be cheap! :monkey:

First I read the title:

Need small cheap saw for wife-recommendations?

Thought - now who would trade their wife for a small cheap saw?

God Bless my wife!...She wants to get more involved with helping me out with woodcutting....She's used my MS-170/290 on occasion, but I want to get her something cheap in the 30 cc. range so if she tears it up whilst learning to use it,

Let her start on the 170, move up to the 290 if she can handle it well, then to the 036. Meanwhile get yourself a good 660. Dave, thechainsawguy, has a 660 going for the BIN price of $600.

We can't tell from your info if your wife is a button cute 4' 6"' 80lb lady who can't lift a gallon of milk or a 6' 170lb ex Navy Seal. If she thinks the 460 is to light FOR HER you shouldn't waste money on a small cheap saw.

That explains why you send her ahead looking for snakes.

:agree2:

Just bought a CS 370 myself.. This little thing surprised the heck out of me. Modded the muffler and removed limiters.. put a 14" oregon b&c on it and it runs like crazy.. Couldn't beat if for a $50 CL find.. :greenchainsaw:

Why be cheap, when it is for your wife?

If you really are cheap, that 170 sounds just right - but I never would get such a cheap POS for my wife!

Yes, good idea!

 

[stump_b_gone]

Might as well go with a ms260 pro. heck she is gonna want to upgrade and give her a saw thats lighter than your 290 and will out cut you 290. it would also be easier to start with the decomp valuve. now i work at stihl dealership in southern illinois. and the ms 260 pro books for 509.99 with an 18 inch bar. and thats a great size bar on that saw.

I've ran about 6 tanks of fuel through my 211, and it's fast becoming one of my favorite saws. It's not as powerful as the Ryobi, but it has better AV, air filtration, and the overall build quality is better. Yes they're not cheep, but for a homeowner saw it's a little sleeper IMHO.
