You can get them for around 400, then slap a 090 cylinder on it.

It may last for a year... who knows

Well try one and find out that way you'll soon see if their bullchit or not if your not going to cut their value in timber than why bother with a saw at all./
How many posts or sawn feet of timber do 090's cut without shaking themselves into pieces pure crosscuttijng is murder on any saw.

100% Chinese and luvin' it

Maybe you should pull the Stihl logo and bar cover off then Bob. You seem to be proud of it's Chinese heritage yet dress it up like the real deal.

hey Matt, I looked into the MS720, sent a email through the stihl AU website regarding the MS720 if its available in Aus.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hello Kain,

Unfortunately, the MS 720 is not available from any of our STIHL dealers in Australia.

If you are looking for a saw to use on a particular job, please do not hesitate to contact a Stihl dealer or our Technical team on 1300 366 665

Thanks, have a great weekend.


Kind regards,


Elise Fabre

Looks like they would prefer the people in OZ to buy the Chinga 070 ...instead of selling there's to us

The following MS720 was purchased from an Australian dealer just the other day. Stihl Australia even have a part number on their system...

It wasn't cheap but then again it's a pretty cool saw, not that I'd buy one but at least you know it would run properly compared to the Chinasaws. German made too including the P&C.
