What is your primary use?

What's your budget?

How long have you been a saw user?

Have you also looked into Dolmar and Husky? Don't buy solely on brand as each saw manufacturer has "hot" saws in certain categories.

Hi
I enjoyed looking at all your pictures, The firewood in the truck i see its split a question do you burn it like that or do you split it down farther and how much wood do you use a season.
thanks Jim

Check out the Stihl website. Do a dealer search and find a dealer with online pricing. All of the prices should be valid. Expect $300 and up to run something with a 16" bar.

I have ten acres of woods and a lot of dead standing that I like to burn and use I just want to cut for myself wueing my woodburner along with my pellet burner. I have a few poulans chainsaw 2 2150, a smalll 18in craftmans i got at a garage sale for 40 dollars it runs real good along with a 295 polulan pro it runs so so and a 300 poulan that starts but does not run long about 3 sec and i have a little homelite i do not use but it runs pretty good just very small. I do like my poulan 2150 33 cc i have organ bars on them the kink of bar you can ajust in the bar not useing the screw ajustment.

That's just split so I can get it in the truck. I'll post some more pictures tonight of the current wood pile. I've gotten about 7 loads this season so far.

What's your plan for the saw? Are you going to hang on to it for a lot of years? If so I'd look into a professional series saw as they do last longer and are better built.

So what's your budget?
