Mostly,..I want a saw that ain't gonna turn to chit after one winter of storage.

I don't really care about price, within reason. But I want it to start up in the spring after settin' all winter.


Stihl MS 261-CM is your baby. About $600 out the door. Lightweight-pro series saw, cuts way better than much larger saws. Use ethanol-free fuel and drain tank for the off season.
