Hi,
Looks like you need a good chainsaw to keep up. What are you using?
I have a cheapie that is driving me nuts and looking at buying something decent. Just thought I’d ask what you use and if you can recommend any particular saw.
I like the idea of the stihl farmboss ms311 or 391 (maybe just a catchy name) but I read somewhere the new ones have a fault with the filter retainment clips. Not enough pressure to seal or something.
Maybe the earlier versions would be better and cheaper but I do kind of like the idea of buying new. Also I believe the huskies aren’t bad either. I’ve had to ignore a fallen tree on one of my back boundary fences becuse the little saw would never cut through it. Lucky I don’t have any animals yet. : (
regards
Mike
I am currently using a Huskie and finding it quite good. It certainly wasn’t a cheap buy, and I get it serviced regularly, but the benefits are that any time I need it it is there and ready for use. The only thing that I would reccomend is buying a couple of spare chains. I haven’t done this yet and each time I have a big job to do, I always regret having to stop to sharpen the chain. It’s not a big issue but it certainly makes things easier if you can just swap over the chain and keep going.
Good luck with it.
