Hi, shopping for a new saw. 95% of cutting is blocking up wood 8" or under, mostly maple. 5% is falling and bucking trees way to big for the saws I can afford!
Visited my local Stihl and could get a MS 250 for $379, a 270 for 429 or the 260 for 549. My question is: would the 250 be good or underpowered for me? What are the differenced between the 260 and 270?
Also my local Jonsered dealer had a 2150 for $620. In comparison I thought this was high with respect to the Stihl prices. Also the word of mouth in the community is that this particular stihl dealer gives excellant service and warantee work while the service depo at the Jonny red deal is just so-so.
Tomorrow I check out the local husky dealer. I saw one of his fliers today at another shop and he is selling the 345 for 499$ (canadian)
So far the Stihl and Jonsered shops both offered a 2 year warantee. Is this typical?
thoughts?
