    New Stihl saws for 2021

    It is not uncommon saws are a few years old when customer buy them. They sit a bit in factory, a bit with distributor and sometimes quite a bit on dealers shelf or storage. I found 70+ years old saws brand new in storage at dealers, got three years old saws from distributor so its not...

    New Stihl saws for 2021

    There is some very fine well taken care of forest here. Another thing is the diversity of the forests. Pine, Birch, Beech Spruce it all has its charm. Walking in them and working in them often is very different from time to time even. Here in south they should not plant one more spruce but do it...

    New Stihl saws for 2021

    Logging and pulp wood is quite different here as you must know. Not sure if you can even deliver skidded wood here, I think they go bananas if they hear it has been dragged. in 60's there was some of this deck handling and skidding but it did not last. No 200cm trees in pulp wood here. Max 70cm...

    Pulp wood loggers here is mainly spruce and not that big. All that can is done by machine so it not much anymore that is cut by saws if you look at volume harvested.

    New Stihl saws for 2021

    Oils today are pretty good. The oils you get for saws is better than ever and people in general are more careful mixing today than ever before as they know more about it now than 30 years ago. The users here mostly run Aspen, I'd say 98% of my customers and all pro's do as it is quite superior...

    New Stihl saws for 2021

    I don't think its sub standard stuff in 500i or same as the others. Main differenci the the two is the injection on 500i of curse but piston cylinder is not the same. 500i is more like a saw without Strato engine as the 462 has. Most firewood sellers I have here run older saws as the now don't...

    New Stihl saws for 2021

    A pro saw from husqvarna was to last more than 2000hrs, farmer/semipro 1000-1500hrs, Hobby 50-500hrs. This was what they designed them for and was what you paid for. Saws today are much less even. Sometimes they run a lot others not that much. Older husqvarna saws rarely went less than 1500hrs...

    New Stihl saws for 2021

    Most loggers I know do the same. Its no economy in repairing money makers today. All run Aspen here. If it's a pro saw, 2500hrs is not rare. But the past 10 years it has become harder as saws are just not that even anymore. Those that get a good one will, others will not. I have high hopes for...
