chris.brock Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 with all the downed trees from the storm around Gull Lk, my little Sears chainsaw just wasn't cutting it (excuse the pun), so, with my back healing (too quickly actually), I pulled the trigger (excuse the pun again) on a new Stihl, seems great, it is a heavy saw to work with though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Nice choice on the saw Chris, Stihl makes great products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Good choice on the saw for sure. I have Husqvarna saws one is a great big commercial saw 268 for trunks and then a lighter limbing saw makes the day of wood cutting easier.

davey buoy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 What a difference a saw makes !!! Really,not worn down or tired after using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 There are really only 2 saws worth owning, one is a stihl, the other is a husky! I am a husky guy myself, but there is nothing wrong with a stihl! Dolmars are decent too, but there isn't really much dealer support here! Nice choice!

misfish Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 a lighter limbing saw makes the day of wood cutting easier. Yup. I bought the 16in for just that up at pops. He,s got a couple of brutes for the trunks. The 16 just zips them off,and you dont even know it,s in yer hands. Nice purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Great saw, got the same one> It will bog down when you really give er, but it wont kick back on ya. Keep a spare chain with ya, and keep it out of the dirt and you will cut many chord of wood with it. 5 years on mine now and I just replaced the bar this spring. I burn 8-10 BC a winter, it has cut every piece RED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormdunker Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yup, I love my Husky 353. Lightweight, cuts very fast. I don't need larger than 16" bar. If larger - my wife says the logs are too heavy to carry?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Nice! I can't tell frron the pic, but looks like a 365 or so, with 18" bar. Pretty big saw for trimming trails and a bit of firewood, but its a great machine that will outlast you more than likely. I have one just like it, but only use it for big stuff. My 265 with 16"bar gets used for everything you could imagine, and I have an old 008 that is super handy for many, many things. Can't go wrong with that purchase. Take care of it, and it will do everything you want it to do. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
