How important is a good chainsaw?
When i knew i was going to get a chainsaw i knew i wanted a good one. So i started asking around.
This stihl was in my budget. Its a ms 170. Its not a big saw but i did not need big saw just something to cut up fire wood.
The price was great $180 plus tax with one year warranty. But if you bought the six pack of oil you got two year warranty. I was totally sold. I also bought bar oil. The total after tax was $209 and i have two year warranty. I was so excited to have my very first saw.
This is the only saw ive ever had and even though i from washington state i never used one before. After a few tips and hands on help from fellow homesteaders i was off and running. The saw cuts great and makes quick work on smaller trees. The only thing i noticed is the chain gets dull fast. I dont know how to sharpen yet lol. I have been taking to shop to have sharpened. Its cheap $6 to get sharpened.
The bar is only 16in but dont need a bigger yet.
So if your looking for a cheap saw that will last you and that you can find service shop for then check out your local sthil dealer.
Thanks guys just wanted to share this with you.
Have a great day guys.
