    I recently bought this electric MSA 220c. I use to use a chainsaw with my dad, and this is the first I've bought. It's rather impressive and nice for trimming and firewood.

    The batteries charge super fast. I was testing the charger on a Jackery 240, but the battery is too much for it.

    Not a chain saw, but this trimmer does a nice job. (Don't cut your toes off!)

    Everything, except the ones I haven't done yet ;)
    Just picked up a Milwaukee 16".

    Was able to cut through some decent sized downed trees for firewood this past camping trip.

    Love that I can use the same batteries as all my other M18 Milwaukee tools.

    I’m running a stihl ms362 with a 25” bar, full comp chain and dual port muffler. I was weary of the m tronic system but the newest iteration of the auto adjustment seems to be alright. I’d still prefer to manually adjust my carb since I prefer having full control of my saw but I bought what I could get at the time.


    EDIT: op, you got a nice collection I’m jealous! The dream would be to find a decent condition stihl 066..for a decent price.

    Nope, it’s all work over here. Nowadays I collect 4-5 cords during the summer per season for the winter. I used to work, but work provided the equipment - that too was all cutting line and snagging. I do miss the days I got to actually put smiles in trees, now it’s just buckin, limbin, and splittin. Still fun though I never get bored of it.

    Limiting your choices between Husky or Stihl is like limiting yourself to a blond or a brunette. Why not one of each?! And there IS room for a redhead too.

    But in all seriousness, I just pulled the rewind out of my 16 year old Stihl, so I went out and got a new Husky. Once I repair the rewind, I will have one of each. I love the smoothness of the Stihl, but the scream of the Husky.

    Hear hear. Worksaws to the left, and hotsaws for competition to the right.

    I built a two piece head for the finger ported 3120xp.

    If I had to chose only one saw to take on a trail, it would be the Husky 346xp or the 550xp. Light, yet powerful enough to cut through big timber if needed.

    Hear hear, that’s why I decided to install a Stihl 090 top end on a Husky 3120 for a total of 154cc’s. Methanol and low % nitro burner.
