need a new chainsaw

ok guys, picked up the MS-170 and a couple of thoughts so far

first off, the stihl revs quicker then the old poulan did
which might be due to it being newer

the chain on the poulan has more links in between each cutting link (if that makes sence)
i checked the other poulan chains i got, but they all have the extra links

that alone would make the stihl a better saw

but the real treat was that the stihl (which is a little lighter) has the power head so much better isolated from the handle

kinda like the difference between regular motor mounts and solid mounts

i ran it for about 45 minutes and not a tingle in my hands...that is nice


so thanks guys for steering me this way
