Without a doubt, the crappiest STIHL ever produced...

[RED-85-Z51]

Some people (Red) are so stupid, they don't even know it, LOL.

Red, you are quite possibly the biggest idiot/loser, I have ever witnessed in the computer world. You have formed a make-believe, fantasy life over and about chainsaws?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

You couldn't sit us all down in a movie theater and project a movie on the screen that would convince anyone in this forum that you know squat about saws, you can't work and sure don't have even a pinch of working experience to back up anything you say.

When it comes to Stihls or probably any saw that is new or newer, you are akin to hearing the "valuable" opinion of a lifetime owner of a Ford Fiestiva and rusted out Escorts, about the intricacies, longevity or power of a Mercedes or Chevy Duramax Dually.

I can see you walking into a Mercedes showroom and expounding, add nauseum, about how the rusted out Escort you own, will get you anywhere the mercedes will and the escort is "lighter", and the spring that is poking out of the seat scratches your back while you drive, and the rusted out fenders make it lighter and easier to change out a flat tire.

When comparing the saws, used and abused, by professionals and people who actually work for a living with these tools, practically, every saw in your line-up would qualify it, for at best, boat anchor material.

You are so ingnorant you don't even know it, LOL.

No go, get back on your "meds",

Okay newbie...Here is a Pic of my ESCORT...

Failure. I see a pattern.

Classy comeback Grasshopper, you learn quickly.

Don't change the subject just to get your lack of chainsaw knowledge and experience out of the lime light, LOL.

By the way, does your dad know that you are uploading pictures of his old, a$$ corvette and insinuating that it is yours?????

If you want to post pictures, why not post something relevant to the forum, such as chainsaws or in your case boat anchors.

Run along now, junior,

Sam

And for that, I'm sure that some here will have pitty upon you, but I won't, you are an idiot.

That is just my opinion,

Actually, It's my car, 100% my car, no one elses,,MINE. Old Ass? I guess that makes the old Stingrays valueless as well huh?

I DID post pics of saws...

Pity? I dont need anyones pity. Im happy, I have a hobby that isnt expensive, isnt illegal, and isnt dangerous.

Ive never denied being an idiot, but Id much rather be an idiot than a T00L.

Do you think, I just fell of the turnip truck?????

You went back and edited it, and then placed the photos of chainsaws that don't work, that were found at the bottom of rivers and scrape metal piles, after I mentioned that you should provide pictures of something related to chainsaws. I'm not stupid, here you are.

Ask your dad how many miles does his old station wagon have on it. Do he let you drive that too?

So.. If I read some post a few pages back.. Red picked up a Stihl once at School... Liked the "feel". Picks up the 280; hated the feel.

Funny thing is, that's how I once felt about women and American cars. After reading this thread again, I now feel empowered (and "qualified" while wearing my NAPA cap) to express my factual opinions on those two. opcorn:



Gheeze RED... quit re-enforcing the owners negative feelings and send him back to get it fixed by the dealer, or another dealer, and f he has issues with either of those, Stihl. If it does in fact have some factory assembly or component issue, you don't have the parts or resources to work on it. You don't even know how it's supposed to feel if it is working correctly.. A dealer can pick up the phone, call Stihl, and have this issue dealt with; you cannot. Are you really providing a "service" to the customer?



In any case, you are completely wrong. The crappiest stihl (from a repair perspective) ever built is the 019T/191T.

Guys,

This 280 doesn't even exist on his property. This is all a figment of his imagination.

If the supposively owner of this 280 took it to Ole' Reddy here after seeing his rusty ole' work shed and array of boat anchors, both wheeled and otherwise, and that owner asked Reddy for his "valuable" opinion. Then he desires whatever evil befalls him and the 280.

My opinion,

Sam

Actually when I got the Vette, My dad had a 1967 Thunderbird Landau (Tudor), and a 1996 Cadillac Sedan Deville. I learned to drive in the Ford, but at 10mpg, it wasnt feasable. He wanted to give it to me, but I knew I couldnt have afforded to put gas in it, and Go to High School. So I found and got the Vette instead. 30mpg on the highway, yet runs to 60 in 5.5s.

Later that year I was driving the Tbird to school one day because the vette was getting an alternator installed, and some punk smashed into the back of me, tore the Pristine Tbird up. Car only had about 60K original miles. Kid runs into me, then jumps out and takes the joint out of his mouth and yells "Why the **** did you stop" I replied "I wasnt even moving, this is a stop sign...

 

[Slamm]

Red, stop with the smoke and mirrors..............you are full of crap.

wow, Ive never seen anyone on the internet that literally had less of a clue than you do..

Congrats and Condolences.

 

[Slamm]

You can prove with documentation that the kid went to jail right. This should be pretty easy. You had court dates, there were witnesses the cops were involved, they gave him a blood test and found "pot" in his blood. You will provide documentation of this so we can believe something you have stated as a fact, right?

Red, you are full of crap, and quit sneaking over to you nieghbor's and taking pictures of his stuff. Hes probably ashamed to let anyone know he has that much junk laying around in one spot.

Red Dude...I have just come upon this thread and its...interesting...back and forth

I admire your tenacity, your willingness to soldier on regardless, your unbridled enthusiasm, this will hold you in good stead well into your future. Stick to what you love to do, happy is the man who can make a living out of his hobby!

BUT...you have to know when to retreat gracefully, to know when your enthusiasm outstrips your real world experience.
When a list of second rate saws is doing you no favours when you want to debate the shortcomings (and there are some) of the mighty Stihl.
Lifting a saw in the workshop, 'feeling' it is ONLY the beginning. Get that bugger out into the woods and do some cutting, day in day out, what does it do, how does it last, what breaks what doesn't...does that 'plastic feel' translate into a lightweight little workhorse, or is it only good for a spare?

OK? Keep at it fella, never like to see a 20yr old get to beaten up this early in the game.
Bruises will fade, experience will see you through the fight, go get some.

 

[AngelofDarkness]

Hey Red, did you tell the guy if he wanted to spend $500 on a good saw he should not have bought a Stihl?

No he didnt go to jail...but his Daddy did open his wallet pretty wide to satisfy my father, to keep it from going to insurance...Was the kids 3rd accident, they would have all been cancelled.

My neighbors WISH they had this stash.

I completely agree.
