Quote HistoryQuoted: Whatever. All chainsaws are the same just like all guns and cars are the same.  Yes! I went to my local small engine guy who sells Stihl and Husquvara saws. He said they were just about as reliable as each and guided me towards a MS250 Stihl saw. Lighter than my 50cc Poulan saw, there's no primer pump needed. It bucked and cut a 115 foot tall, 20" diameter, birch on a single tank of gas yesterday. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/202/tempImageQ1jUNY-2432542.jpg I also have a MS250 for our 40 acres and we heat predominantly with wood too. great saw |

Echo has just about the best price/performance ratio of anything out there. Pick one that fits your needs. I have a CS-310 for my carry around trimming saw and a CS-590 Timberwolf for serious firewood work.

Starts easy every time. We have a CS-501 in the family we couldn't get started last time we tried to use it. Doesn't have a priming bulb. Not sure if it was a fuel delivery issue or lack of spark. Need to follow up to see if they figured it out. |

For firewood I'd go with 372 XP 20 inch bar, you'll appreciate 70cc and still relatively lightweight.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you already have cordless tools, like the Milwaukee M18 series? Get an electric chainsaw that uses the same battery. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Stihls an Husqvarna are more pricey...any others a decent chainsaw? Craftsmen, max power, etc? Do you already have cordless tools, like the Milwaukee M18 series? Get an electric chainsaw that uses the same battery. Greenworks pro with an 18" bar works great https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/greenworks-pro-60v-16-in-brushless-cordless-chainsaw-with-25-ah-battery-and-charger-2019202-1744632?cid=Shopping-Bing-Product1744632-&msclkid=ec802c10993212b553a44ec767cf5a2c&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping%20-%20All%20Products&utm_term=4585375807245420&utm_content=All%20Products |

Any issues with an Echo CS-400-18VP?
My main use will be cutting up slabs into firewood size pieces. I don't have any big trees to fell. |

Stihl MS-170 bought 2 days before IRMA and it's never had a drop of fluid inside.
Still...I have a chainsaw! Chris |
