Hello there newbe here. I am in the market for a Chainsaw. I just purchased a outdoor woodburner and I need a new chainsaw. I have a Sears that was gave to me but I am looking for something in the 20" bar range. Just wondering what people in here have and like or dislike.

Thanks
Joe
 
Welcome!

I recently purchased a small Stilh and am thrilled with it. It's only a 16" that was used for storm clean up, but it seems to be a real go getter. I've also heard good things about Huskys...
 
I have had great success with my stihl MS 170. I use the crap out of it on my TSI projects and except for regular maintenance it always cranks up and has plenty of power.
 
Stihl....it'll last forever

I had a little Remington(yeah they made chainsaws) back when I was 10 or 11. Dad let me cut firewood for the shop with it. Surprisingly, I never notched my leg with it. I think I spent more time working on the saw than cutting with it.
 
I cut 15 to 20 pickup loads of firewood every year, and love my Stihl 310 with a 20" bar. My father-in-law has had a Stihl 029 for a long time, and hasn't had a bit of trouble with it. He cut at least ten loads of wood a year with it for 10 years or so. Good saws. I haven't heard too many bad things about the Husky's either, and the parts are more readily available. I'm just more partial to the Stihl's myself.
 
I have a stihl farm boss it's very versitile it come with 18 or 20 " bar don't settle for anything less than a stihl

I burned firewood to heat my home for about 15 years and have also been involved with a lot of TSI work.

For firewood I would stick to a 18 bar though. I have owned Stihl, Husqvarna, Jonsered, and Dolmar. IMO these are the best saws on the market and you can't go wrong with any of them. Make sure you have a dealer/saw shop close by that will provide you good service for what ever model you choose.

I did a lot of TSI work with this Dolmar and it just plain kicks a$$! Go to some of the logging and timber cutting sites and they will all be using one of these 4 saws. Stihl saws seem to be a bit heavier when comparing similar models. I still have a Stihl 046 Mag for dropping larger trees.

Sure will.. I believe my old man has had the same Stihl for about 20+ years and it still runs like a champ. He keeps it serviced well and the blade sharp.
 
Hey thanks for the imput looks like maybe a Stihl is in the future for me. (I know a lady that named her kid after a chainsaw) Stihl.... spelled the same even I believe.
