I've been doing tree work for about 4 years now in the triangle area of North Carolina. I've recently decided to go my own way and form a tree service with a friend of mine. I could use some help with picking good suppliers and brands for my gear. I have made the mistake before of trying too hard to save money and it has certainly led to much frustration. I have most of the basics already, but there are a few items I still need to get.
First off, what is your opinion on the Stihl 500i saw? My friend said he was doing research and heard good things about it. We were planning on putting a 28" bar on it and using it for anything big. Are there any maintenance issues with them?
