Evening,
Working on getting my first saw. Only plan on using it 5-10 times a year, nothing really crazy (no huge trunks).
Before I read this site my first impulse was to get a $300 Echo from Home Depot and call it a day. I've rethought and would like to pick up a used Stihl for about the same money. The eventual plan is to get something new by this time next year.
I assume my $300 will got a much nicer used Stihl than a new cheaper made saw. Am I correct?
Second, I have a lead on a refurbed Stihl 031 with a 20" bar for $200. Is this going to be completely unusable?
Thanks in advance for any help.
