I love Stihl. The MS 261 CM for limbing, bucking and slashing. And the 500i for honking through big stuff.
I’ve got an old 041av farm boss that my great grandfather bought before chain brakes were required.
My grandfather gave it to me cuz it had a few things wrong with it but I really dug it when he showed me.
It was able to buck 2 white oaks that fell naturally before it started giving me more problems I’m still procrastinating to fix.
I got this ms660 clone, it’s 100% compatible and I’m itching to break something and upgrade it…then my focus will revert to the farm boss.
It’s my yin yang. One is a 100% authentic hog that’s been run over by a tractor and “Stihl kicks ass” but only can be upgraded and repaired with aftermarket Chinese parts(buying used 40+ year old chainsaw parts at ebay prices scares me); the other is a wet behind the ear knock off I will try to make into a super clone, though it would not survive a tractor (more plastic, farm boss essentially has 0 and is a tank).
I aim for both making it at least two more generations!
Sorry Sonny alls I gots is sats and saws (I hate that Makita isn’t orange, love Makita 😔)
