Alabama thread!

Lets go!!!

 

PM me your cell number and I will try to get them to you ASAP. Worst case I can get them to Corey so he can give them to you at work.

 

Use? Tree removal or for the rig?

 

Trees in my yard, general cutting of fallen limbs. Would take with me if I go anywhere like I did in Texas.

 

If its for your back yard, I would definitely go with a higher quality one. I cant imagine the cheap one would last very long with the initial use it would get.

 

lol yes it will mainly be for my backyard, the jungle.

 

Are you taking out some of those bigger trees? You might want a little longer than 16" if so.

 

I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm not qualified to take down larger trees, but I will take out some of the smaller ones.

 

anyone in mobile know where this lot is and or wanna go look at this?

16" should be fine then. A sharp chain is the best ally for a chainsaw.

 

dang it boy, that's pricey.

 

my dad works at garnett's lawn equipment in Hartselle and they carry stihl which are pricey too but they are like contractor grade and sometimes they get trade ins and stuff, you may be able to find a good used one somewhere for about the same price as the Husqvarna (which isn't actually a Husqvarna if you are planning on buying it from lowes or somewhere; big companies like john deere and Husqvarna contract out builds to less quality companies and just collect a royalty on it for them using their name)

 

is a 16" for 180$ cheaping out? I don't have much experience with these that's why I've turned to you guys. Hoping someone has owned/used different sizes to really know if I need to spend the money.

 

This^

Cheap chainsaws always leave you more frustrated than the original sting of the price. The 16" stihl his dad sales would probably be $350+, so used would be nice!

 

Really big price difference here, but these are kinda the two I guess I'm deciding between. What would be the justification to jump to the 20", just tree size? If so, I won't be cutting massively huge stuff. I can measure some of the trees tonight when I get home. Are there other reasons to go for the bigger saw?

 

A 12 gauge with buckshot is a lot cheaper if you're cutting small stuff.

 

Between those 2 16" all the way. 20" is really only needed for a big ass tree!

If you wanted to spend a little more on quality and get a 16" that might be worth the jump depending on how much.

 

is that 16" not quality?

 

You feeling okay?

Unlike you to provide practical input.

 

We used stihl when I did lawncare and they sucked. Even the guys down in Texas this weekend said stay away from Stihl.
