ok, so about a month ago I was in the NJ pine barrens and we had to turn around at one point due to a fallen tree. the tree was only about 6 inches in diameter, but it was wedged in between the other trees.
Thinking how great it would have been to have had a chainsaw! I have never owned one or ever used one, but have often seen them strapped to old jeeps in upstate NY. Are the hard to learn how to use safely? Do you think a class is necessary?
There is a local Stihl dealer here so I checked out there site.... there lowest end model (which still looks good in youtube videos), the MS-170 is $180.
Do you think I would be better off buying a used saw for VERY occasional use? Is Stihl just a high end brand overall? would like to spend about $100 if possible.
Just wondering what you guys would recommend. THANKS
