I've run Stihl plenty too. I've pulled the rope on the white and orange, heap big plenty. Still pulling... can't get started.... lol!
No, Good stuff. One of my fav Stihl saws was a little top handle climbing saw. I don't think they make it anymore. My oldest boy just bought a new home owner level stihl. So far so good, it's got a weird spring loaded recoil, starts one pull and you can pull super slow. Like you are pulling a spring and it doesnt turn [/color[color:#FF0000]]the motor until you are almost full pull. Funny, it reminds me of a spring loaded wind up push mower I had once. Top of the motor had a crank you wind up like a spring loaded wind up toy. then you flip a little lever and the loaded spring spins the engine over. lol I hurt both my shoulders and arms earlier this year and the Doc said not pull on any chainsaws until I heal up. I was aware of the Stihl EZStart saws and purchased a MS 251 CB-E and kept on working in the woods. It sure is an eerie feeling when you slow pull the saw and it starts.

And you being an idiot or trying to start a pissing match. Either way I have more experience in the bush working than all on this thread combined including Big Stick. So flame the [bleep] on Yeah. You're our hero. You are also the only one that can use a chainsaw for any purpose, or have an opinion about it. Tell ya what Buttercup.. As soon as you buy me a professional grade Stihl, and I use it a couple of years, I'll let you tell me what saw I buy and use with my own money...  Deal?

Older the better. Especially with Husky. You guys must know a vacuum company named Electrolux makes husky. Thought I should mention that. Explains why Husqvarna's are good saws. Electrolux are good vacuums.

I've been looking at both of those models. I have some big saws but I want something smaller for firewood chores. I've been looking at husq 550XP But I've got the big saw/little saw covered pretty well already do I don't really have an excuse. That is one badass saw I been eyeballing that 550xp since it came out. Power to weight is very nice, it's not a baby saw, not a big saw either.. think it's under 11 pounds or about 11 with a bar on it. Small chain, .325 but that's ok. Not everything has to cut a 3/8 notch. I got no need tho, I have a bigger jonsered pro saw and a baby (I bought Dusty's 2152 on his auction) I was/am in the same boat. I WANT the xp but I don't NEED the xp. If I burned wood for heat though, that would be the first saw I went and bought.

I sure get a kick out of his. I can see where it would be absolutely perfect for your situation.

You CLUELESS fhuqking Snowflakes are hilarious. A Stihl couldn't muster the power requisite,to pull a greasy string out of a cat's ass. Hint RINKHint RINK 2Hint RINK 3"Tell" me "more".

Bless your hearts. Laughing!.................. having been a pro logger myself, stick is correct. it takes a lot of experience and skill to cut a tree that size that pretty. In my experience the huskies hold up a lot better and most of the hard coor still guys i know have never tried anything else.

Sam, for the little I need a chain saw here on my 6 acres, I went with the Husq 435. I was pleased with how well it idled out of the gate. Still does. The other saws I've had didn't idle for chitt but they were also chitt saws lol

Rooster, the crazy thing is you CAN'T fiddle with carb adjustments on the new 'pro' saws.
It's all ran by a computer chip. I think that's how they work, self tuning....
Drive a guy crazy and I was one happy mofo when it finally tuned itself.
There is no way I own a saw like that though if I was way out in the boonies. You simply cannot work on it.
Of course the same can be said for new diesel pickups(or most any new vehicle).....

Isn't that the truth. Not much the average Joe can do on this new fangled stuff now days.

Sam.....on the computer saws I’ve worked with you can reprogram them. Been a while. But on the Stihls it’s Start WFO for ten seconds Idle for ten seconds Shut off. Repeat. Something like that. Been a couple of years. Nice for changing altitude

100% correct. Two examples of what happens when the goverment gets it's camel sniffer under the manufacturing tent. Companies have no choice but to go with a less efficient model thanks to some vegan bureaucrat with an environmental agenda to burn. Look at all the small engines with turbo's slapped on to make them act like the next sized bigger motor. The EPA is the herpes division of government.

I've been looking at both of those models. I have some big saws but I want something smaller for firewood chores. I have sold maybe 20 of these, mostly the 455's. We've had almost zero problems with them. I set them up and dial the carbs in a little if necessary. ALWAYS Stick with the correct oil to avoid future problems. not just mix ratio, but use the SAME oil. Sounds simple, but I get people every year that can't remember. They are very good saws.

I bought a DEWALT DCCS620P1 20V MAX Lithium-Ion XR Brushless Compact 12 in. Cordless Chainsaw Kit (5AH) this year for clearing my backyard for a garden for my grandkids.
I don't bother to sharpen chains any more. I just buy more. They go quickly when I am in the dirt sawing roots.
I can get most big trees taken out for $2k each by the pros.
