I would touch up my chain every time I fueled up. Cut way more wood with a tank of gas and sharp chain. | |||

Addition.. I was taught when sharpening a chain to always hit each tooth the same number of times. I sharpened one side once and could cut circles but not cut straight.

I own both brands and both work great. I have no gas problems and just buy cheap gas with ethanol, I use Stihl 2 cycle oil and buy it by the gallon and Stihl chain bar oil. I have a chain grinder but that's only if a chain gets real bad. I sharpen with a file or my Dremel. | |||

Try this, he seems to be clueless about chainsaws as well. Chainsaw Get a Stihl. Hard to believe someone in Colorado doesn't know what to buy. I thought there were a lot of trees in Colorado. I got 10+ Stihl dealers from 30 minutes from my house. Husky, not so much. Best of luck  | |||

I will say where you live may dictate what you can get away with also. I see videos of wood being split in different parts of the country and it's like they're made of Balsa. I think, "come try that with a Blackjack". LOL If you are cutting a bunch of hardwood a good saw will show why it's better. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

The Stihl Farm Boss MS290 was the standard. They then had to make emissions mods and became MS291. Most offered with a 20" bar but I got the last 290 at our local Deere store and it was equipped with an 18". It's plenty and keeps me reeled in a bit. I've heard the emissions stuff hasn't really been a huge problem for Stihl but the EZ start shouldn't go on a chainsaw. That's for grandma's curved shaft string trimmer. Also, Stihl dealers offered a better warranty if you buy a case of mixing oil at time of purchase. Their oil produces little to no smoke. My four stroke FS90 string trimmer takes the same mix. | |||

Aye? A four stroke uses an oil and gas mixture? Illegitimi non carborundum | |||

And out comes the idiots. You do realize that assuming something makes you look like a total ass, right? FYI, I posted there as well because I prefer to hear from multiple sources, not just one. And assuming just because I'm from Colorado I should know what chainsaw to get is purely asinine. I've never been in a situation where I've needed one or needed to purchase one, hence me asking for input. It's nice to know what people are actually using, not just what they think I should get. Because of this, I've started looking at echo as well, an option I didn't consider before. Yes, plenty of trees in Colorado. No, haven't had a need for a chainsaw before now. So there ya have it. If you have that much of an issue of me asking for input on something I think you might need to go back to mommy's basement before curfew so you don't get into trouble...

Stihl is the best value for me, since my 30 year old Mac got hard to start.....4 or 5 years with the Stihl, tore up a chain cutting roots and railroad ties. DIRT cutting is the WORST thing you can do. Do yourself a favor and just run race gas in your 2-strokes. The only Ethanol free premium around me is only 90 Octane. I was rather shocked to also find that our vintage Honda 4-strokes also called for much higher octane, so I blend a little regular into our race gas for the outdoor toys. The start kickback on the Stihl will get your attention, the race gas makes that a non-issue. "Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular." Dave Cook N375 | |||

I agree with that the Stihl recommended suggestions. It's a chainsaw, not a $50,000 TD engine. Buy a six pack of oil and get a three year warranty. Use ethanol free fuel if available. Small engines/carbs hate it, doesn't what manufacturer of engine. Best of luck | |||

Stihl 250 or 251 for the win. We have about 30 at our Electrical Co-Op and never mix your own gas. We started using Tru-Fuel and carb trouble is now zero. | |||
