STIHL MS250 or Husky 445?
My Dolmar PA-401 died last weekend. My father-in-law gave me this saw when we moved into our new home 2008. Good saw (~39cc 16 bar), always had issues with keeping the chain tension. I cut all the wood we can burn for the winter from the woods out back (~150 x 500). Just want something dependable. Looking at new STIHL MS250 C-BE $349, 18 bar or a Husky 445 refurbished $239 (new $309) 18巴ar. Both ~45cc. STIHL has the easy start and Quick chain adjuster (is this feature as good as it looks). Husky has the price and looks to be a good saw. Any thoughts, comments or recommendations?
Thanks,
Ted
