Stihl is a excellent saw to have on hand. A little phinicky about starting but good saws. My go to saw is a Husqvarna 455 rancher with a 16 in bar installed. These come standard with 20in bar, but the 16in makes it handier and you can switch back to the 20in for the big stuff. I also have a 14in for it. Now the rancher is a heavy saw but lots of power. After 12 yrs it has never failed to start on first or second pull and I have always left it gassed and ready to go.
