My two Stihl's.

[GeneD14]

I love cutting wood on a cold winter's day with my Stihls. I have and 012 and 2 MS 361's that are amazingly fast. I dream about a new MS 660 some day.

haroldy...at my age, cutting and splitting is starting to be a "pain" for me too. Good luck!!!

While I don't have pictures, I'm another big fan of Stihl saws. :thumbsup:

MS170, 024AVS, MS260 PRO, MS361, 041AV, MS441

Wish I had a pic of them all together.

(also have a 353 and 327P5x husky which I do like also.)

We own all stihl equipment, except our chainsaw which is a poulan. It has been in for repairs for 4 times in 8 years totaling over 500 dollars in repairs. I would have been cheaper to own a stihl.

I had a poulan for a while - what a piece of junk. Got a Stihl and love it, have a Stihl leaf blower and weed wacker which are equally as nice.

I dream of a MS 660 too. My cusin in GA has one with a skip tooth full chisel chain. You can take that bad boy out of the case and the tree gives up and just falls.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

My dad got me hooked on stihl as a kid. He gave me the two older saws in the pic(041-020av). I've been adding a little too. Kombi pole saw and a 290. Love them

I run 4 saws, almost never leave to cut without at least 3 with me. MS210,310,361 and a pawn shop rescue of a Husky 51. The 51 was a real surprise to me - one cutting machine. Too long in the tooth now as am I. It has gotten so stiff tht the first two pulls I can only get the piston over top once. If I can start it it is still amazing for a small saw.

Had a Poulan Pro bought new in the last days of the 'professional Poulans, i.e., ones that were used in the timber industry) It was a piece of crap.

Had Homelights in the past built back in the 60s and the first one I ran was a McCullogh something gear drive in 52.

Looks like it is about time to hang it up for me. Nearing 77, have over 40 cords of black locust in the piles, haven't come up with any trees to cut yet for this year. I'll still be lookin but not taking on any more "clear cut this 5 acre patch" jobs.

I found my Dad's old homelite the other day stuck in a pile of stuff in the back of his garage. Cleaned it up and got it going. Man what a beast! Loud and fast thru the wood but NO vibration damping, I swear i was seeing double! :laughing:

My much younger little 20 year old stihl is much smoother.

Sorry to hear about this.

Try saws with the coil spring AV. Much smoother and almost no vibrations are felt.

026 038 have solid rubber AV

Agreed.

If you can get by with a smaller saw, the Dolmar PS350 and PS420 have about teh most awesome AV of any saw I have ever ran:thumbsup:
