Hello, I have a Stihl 046 that I love but needs a new case due to the clutch exploding which screwed up the case so bad it wont oil. I plan on rebuilding it over the winter or perhaps having someone rebuild it and possibly hop it up a bit.
In the mean time I am thinking about buying a new saw. I would like some advise on what saw to get. My parameters are that it needs to have close to the same power as my 046. I will be using it around my property to cut firewood and clear downed trees. I prefer a longer bar with more power when cutting firewood because I hate bending over. I am thinking that I should just get another Stihl but the Huskys seem to be a bit cheaper in price. Any and all advise is appreciated. I will be cruising this forum trying to gather as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance.
