Thread: Best chainsaw.

I have a Stihl MS280, 55cc I think with an 18 inch bar and it's great, Its the second model up in the commercial style and goes like stink. I think it's just the right size for the above average operator without going stupid. never had a problem with it and it's had a thrashing.

When I bought it the shop sold both Husq and Stihl, each guy I asked in there said Stihl so I stuck with them.

What chain do people recommend? I am mainly cutting blue gum trees, bith green and dry.

Stick with Stihl chain, oregons alright but Stihls better not sure about husky never used it. Like I said before stick with full chisel unless there is a high chance of cutting dirt/mud.
