In the chainsaw community, some Stihl saws are extremely popular, and others are not. If the price is right, then it could be the Stihl chainsaw for you. If you strike the jackpot, the Stihl 090 is an even more powerful chainsaw.
BrianVT, that’s how you justify a 7900! You can buck them and then noodle them into smaller chunks in short order with a big saw! My 75 year old Dad was sweating how he was going to split some 34+ inch rounds of pin oak he dropped on his property when I pulled out the Dolmar and sliced ’em up in short order into easy to handle chunks. I think he was impressed(you can’t do that easily with a smaller saw like his 025).He still asked me to try to noodle a little staighter as the splits were coming out a little too angled for his liking for stacking.
Husqvarna was stealing the show with their big saws since the mid 1970’s. The early 064’s were built so light at 14.1 lbs that they weren’t holding up with the long b/c so the 056 Mag ll was still the preferred reliable production saw. The 056 Mag ll was eventually discontinued 8 months after the 066 was introduced in March 1991.The 064AV still had a good run right up until December 2002.
