Stihl Chain Saw Review

When looking for a chainsaw, you will be met with a multitude of companies that both manufacture and sell this type of machine

. A Stihl chain saw is definitely worth considering; they are one of the top manufacturers across the globe today. Recently there have been tests carried out on their latest chainsaw against other leading brands in the marketplace. It's worth noting that the type of wood these tests were carried out on where spruce, red cedar, ash, pine, red oak and hickory (amongst others). Stihl certainly came out on top, as described below.

One of the manufacturers that was pitted against the Stihl chain saw was Husqvarna, this turned into quite a battle as both machines are considered to be the best out there. The throttle response and power on both was found to be exquisite, largely due to the airflow through the engines which have been perfectly designed. The Husqvarna model that was tested uses a duct that efficiently channels air so that exhaust gases can be expelled, at the same time it ushers in a separate air fuel mixture.

This model will also arrive at your door already assembled and will start up with the second pull. The downsides found with the Husqvarna model were, that if you are cutting wood then you need access to the filter which is tool free, this model however, comes with small screws. There were no problems reported with the chain brake lever. It was also reported that the model could have been sturdier and needed a little more robustness to it.

The Stihl chain saw model, which is called the Farm Boss, is currently their fastest selling model came out on top on all counts. One of the parts of this machine that is currently being raved about is the air filter. Stihl has certainly paid particular attention to this detail as air filters can be the most problematic part of any chainsaw. It was found that their air filter stays amazingly clean even after it has been used many times over. Other parts of the chainsaw that past testing with flying colors were the chain brake, oil and gas caps which lock with just half a turn and the plastic retainer straps.

It is worth noting that if you are in the market for a Stihl chain saw that Stihl is incredibly safety conscious when it comes to selling their products. You will not find a genuine Stihl chain saw available to buy on the internet (for obvious reasons). However, there is plenty of information on the internet that will help you find a local dealer wherever you might be.

You should expect to pay anywhere in the region of US$650 to US$800 for your Stihl chain saw, depending on the model you wish to go for. Do bear in mind however, that reputable dealers will at times have discounts available. The price range on other models of chainsaw will range from US$400 to US$700 and most will weigh between 16 and 18lbs.
