Is that a MIG29????? (rusty hunk of stihl) .....

Most split wood is around 8" I'm sure some might be 10" but then again some might be 6" maybe even 4". Eight seemed like a nice round number to get my point across, apparently it went over.

Most split wood is 8" where? I get round from 3" up to 52"???? He has to cut it to length before he can split it first! Am I missing something? He never did state how large his wood was?

I posted before but something happened. I have made my choice and am going with the Stihl MS 180 C. The pieces I get to cut up are usually between 2" to 8" in diameter. I looked at both the Echo 305 and the Stihl and the Stihl just felt better to me. Also my Stihl dealer started up a "cold" 180 in front of me and it took 4 pulls to sputter and 1 to fire off. I can live with that many pulls. Also the Echo 5 year warranty is on ignition only and not the whole saw. When I get my new Stihl I will post about how it works for me. Thank You to all who have helped me out. Take Care. Cord Cutter.

Apoligies, I never could find where you said that, the 180 will be a great saw, until you get bitten by the bug!! (Better get off this site FAST!!!)
Congrats!

Enjoy that saw.

i never ran a 250.

i used to have an 025 and it sucked.someone stole it and i actually felt sorry for them. i really don't care for a 350 husky either.seems like alot of them blow up awfully easy.i know a guy that has a 170 and it was ok for the size but i don't whittle flutes so i'd rather have a husky 141.alot more power.
my step brother just bought an ms270 and i liked it alot.wasn't as smooth as a husky but still had nice power and balance.personnaly if it's got to be a stihl,i'd look for an 026 or 036.

Good choice, Cord Cutter! The MS 180 sounds like a perfect match for your application. Let us know what you think about it in a few days.

And if you get bit by the saw bug and decide to buy a 50 cc saw, come back and get a real dose of how all these guys can help spend your money.
