Looking at adding a 20” saw to the fleet and have been looking at a new Stihl 261C.
Without a brand warfare eruption, is there any reason I should look at another comparable brand?
I like Stihl because my neighborhood dealer is very good and I like Stihl‘s business model. That might overwhelm the temptation to buy another brand that is only slightly better.
Little hesitating on the non adjustable carb, but that’s my only perceived drawback.
This is a saw I intend to use weekly as a general purpose small to medium size grab & go saw.
Constructive, non brand warfare thoughts appreciated.
