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.
Then Stihl (IF sold/serviced locally) is the way to go.. You won't need a yuge one - any of 'em with a 16" bar should suffice.


I have a 35+ year-old Olympic 261 that still runs like a champ... Whatever you get - ensure you use fuel with NO ethanol in it.. I hadn't run mine for nearly 2 years. On Friday I dumped out the old gas, mixed up a fresh batch (20-1) and filled the oiler.. About 5-6 pulls and off it went.. I really thought I was gonna be working at starting that baby for about an hour... smile
