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
