I couldn't help myself and got the Stihl MS311

Everything that is outdoors and not hunting or shooting. Talk about fishing, 4wd, archery, camping, motorbike riding etc etc.

Eh I messed around with it a bit more and got it freed, it must have had shit in it. But I couldn't get it to budge yesterday the oil must have penetrated the dust.

Pffft and paid the same price for 15 less power?

The saw went fine though up until the bar buggered up.

Also for what its worth, I'm not interested in getting into a dick measuring contest, I'd own either Stihl or Husky but as it stands today you get more for your $$ with Stihl it will change and maybe in 15 years when it's time to get a new saw I'll get a Husky. I am not loyal to either brand as I reckon both are pretty damn good.

I have never been a fan of roller tips but they do decrease kickback

Nice choice of Saw Keith I am sure your are going to get a lot of use out of it in the near future.

Thanks mate! I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of it with the temps in the Southern Tablelands of late!

Like all chainsaws there is only one thing better, someone to cut and stack the wood for you.

What are you talking about? I used it for nearly a full tank of fuel and bucked a medium sized stringy bark before it stopped working and had I known what I known now I would have fixed it in 5 minutes.

But again this is Ford and Holden or Remington and Winchester type shit what is the point of it? But hey if you feel you need to shit on something I've bought to vindicate your decisions then go right ahead. :D

You were right.. well it was forestry forums that I found out what to do (which was stupid simple and I slapped myself that I didn't think of it). Lessons are learnt when things go wrong though I guess.
