What is the best dealer support near you? I'll find out if you want. For the best all around one saw plan in stihl .....261 CM. Self tuning. Big thing. Self tuning. 241 261 362 Pro saws. Will last you 25 years. 170 180 Homeowner. 271 280 290 310 390 Ranch saws. Not bad but not pro. I got 18-20 pro Stihl's. 22-135 cc. The 261 CM is my Carry with me. No problems. Lightest for its power. Gonna work all day and night saw. 16" bar or a 24 if you need the stretch. .325 chain and keep it sharp. Dull chain is hard on you,the clutch and the bearings. Chain gets a little dull. Change it. Full chisel if the wood is clean. Will dull quicker Chipped chain cuts slower but will take dirt and abuse. A cheap $100 grinder will make sharpening easier. Don't get the $30 Harbor freight one. Any questions......ask. I'll try. If you arent getting it soon.......I'll be thru there and you can try all the different saws.
