Tell me about the Stihl 056 AV

[muncybob]

All I know is they are 81cc?? How heavy are these? What's the suggested bar/chain for them? Found 1 locally for $250. Been saving for a splitter but this seems to be a good buy if it's in decent shape but are parts attainable?

there heavy between a 460-660 run up to a 36 inch bar. Its a power house.

$250 is high unless it's pristine.
If I remember right, they were only $500 new back in the day.
056 is at least a 23 year old saw.
Good saw though.
