Isn't it about time for you to post another dissertation on the trials and tribulations of cutting a couple of sapplings in your back yard.
Is this what Stihl's have come to?

Should I be nervous that only one of your hands is visible for most of the video?
Surprised you had time to read it. You get the week off because the lumber mill shut down?

Well just goes to show they are so easy to snapped back in place, a man can
do it in less than 30 seconds and have a hand to spare,LOLOL
I know the OP didn't mean for this thread to go on and on like this, he's probably a pretty good guy. However whats the ole saying if you don't know its best to say nothing.
Now my buddy Sawtroll, yes I love him like a brother regardless of the non-sense he spouts about bad desgin and all, well he should try his hand at this set up. This is the linkage on a 200T. I just replaced the entire top handle assembly on this saw. This job took me from the time I posted the other vid. As you can see here is a design I don't really like BUT it works flawlessly providing the saw doesn't fall 50 feet out of a tree like this one did.

And if they made a switch to the size that would suit you, others would have complaints. Not everyone wears gloves.
The manufacturers must have a hard time trying to keep everyone happy.
Years ago when I used to read the dirt bike mags, the criticism was high, down to the minutest detail, but "you could WIN on any of these bikes".
No need to apologize, your entitled to an opinion and first I heard there was a probation period.
Careful Tom! You're kind of over-working yourself in that vid aren't you? Might mess up your doo. I mean, how many times did you take that filter cover off and on, and perform the excruciating task of pulling the throttle. You did pull it didn't you? Took so long I hardly saw you do it!

I was bored after performing the milli second difficult task of installing the switch. Ok I admits after pulling the air filter I was exhausted, :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

You really have to be a PRO like Tommy to operate the control switch on a Stihl like that.
Maybe you can make a good living giving lessons to some of these guys on here that can't operate it correctly. Seems to be some form of rocket science for sure. As dumb as I am, I don't see how in the heck I always manage to get it right. Maybe I'm just getting lucky. Maybe you are too, right?
FINALLY! Someone to show me how to change the air filter on this thing! Do you also have a video for my child-proof pain pill bottle? That would be so swell!

Tommy, show them one on how to push in a compression release also. I'd say a few of them don't know how to do that either.

I have an 025 i just finished,never did care for the switch setup but it kinda works ok most of the time..after using other brands it can get confusing so mostly pilot error.
nice smooth running saw for sure,pleasure to use but absoloutelly gutless.
sort of attractive looking but BIG for it's size..
trade off's in all brands i suppose..
not one of my favorites,in fact none of them are..

Yep, I'm a Stihlhead also.
I do know that a Dolmar 7900 is the most impressive saw I've ever ran. And that a Husky 346xp is the quickest little 50cc machine I've ever touched to wood. Oh and that 372xp husky....gotta love that one too.
But the Stihls just keep running for me with no problems. That means alot to me. But I will be mixing it up a little in the future. if a chainsaw feels right in my hands and runs like I want it to, I love it, no matter who makes it. I just hate these bash threads in which people make claims with no proof to back up the claim. Having a faulty piece of equipment is one thing. But judging a whole brand of awesome saws by the falut of a homeowner 250 is just more than I'm in the mood for.

I'll say the stock 025/MS250 is not that impressive. I think it has suffered quite a bit from EPA woes... but if you dig into them even a little, they become a very decent unit. I'm a bigger fan of the older 025s because most of them have the WT215, which was a good, fully adjustable carb. Whichever the year, hogging out the muffler and richening up the carburetor produces very good results. I ported one last year and was surprised how strong the saw became. Blipping the throttle makes that thing twist in my hands... it's really pretty strong for what is not a lot of mass.
On the other hand, I do see why the saw is frustrating for those who just want a "buy it and run it" machine, a fairly reasonable expectation from a homeowner.
