I have the finances to buy either a Stihl 880 or a Ripsaw. They cost roughly the same. What are some opinions about which one to go with?
I'm building some corrals soon and if I use 2x10's I'll need a minimum of 2,000 linear feet.
I'll be milling mostly lodgepole pine, some aspen and an occasional fir if it's big enough.
I'm only going to mill down timber or dead standing. Nothing alive will be cut down to use. Most of the lodgepole isn't too big. I can cut through a decent sized logdepole with a 20" bar. Same for the aspen, although some of the aspens look a little bigger.
I have a Stihl 029 (56cc) to run the Ripsaw with. Is this saw big enough? Ripsaw's website says it is, but I want to hear from you guys. Thanks.
