Alright guys its time for me to get a new saw. Ive been using my ole mans old saw forever (Stihl cant remember the model). A Chainsaw has been one of those tools that we use just enough that I used my dads. I just got a pretty good size brush/woods clean-up job and im gonna bite the bullet and get my own saw.
Prioir to this job I only used a chainsaw for downed trees and cutting timbers on retaining walls ect. However now my new home has a fireplace and woodburner and my new shop is heated by wood. So... A little more use for a saw now.
So just kinda looking for advise as to what saw to get. Im kinda looking at the MS260. I kinda want a saw that might be a lil overkill so to speak that way I dont ever grow out of it. And its going to have to stand up to employe use also ( we all know how that is).
Now just another quick question. I see the MS290 is listed under "Mid-Range" and the MS260 is under "Professional" So what makes them different?
I posted this at Lawnsite and it was recomended that I ask this here. Looks like a good site. Look forward to posting in the future.
Thanks
