i am looking into buying 2 new saws. i want one midsized one and a big one for cutting down very big trees. i am debating between echo, sthil,shindawa, and john deere. price is not the deciding factor for me i want somthing that is high in quality and needs very little or no repairs. i need something that stands up to everyday harsh conditions. what brands do you guys recommend?
also,
i own a sthil and it is nothing but problems. i took it back to the dealer ship everyday and they could not straighten it out. the problem was the chain kept falling off. at first they said i was cutting spindly stuff and it got wrapped around the chain and that is why the chain kept breaking so then i took the saw back home and cut a 13 inch tree trunk and the chain broke again so i took it back and they said the chain wasnt properly tightened so they tightened it for me and i went back home and cut a new notch in that same tree and the chain broke again. next they said that it wasnt getting enough oil and i checked and there is plenty of oil comming out onto the chain....and then i figured out why the chain kept coming out on the bottom side of the chain that rides in the track there are bubbles(just little ridges that make it too wide to fit back into the bar) on the carrige links why does the chain keep bubling out? the chains have less then 20 min worth of cutting and i have had many different sthil shop workers do the tightening of the chain for me and i have stayed out of the little stuff like they told me to......also the bubbles will be on 3 continus links and then stop and the chain will be fine and then theere will be more links that have bubbles on them......any suggestions about why the chain keeps breaking and bubbling? ps i did clean the bar out.
