    Pisser Hodgey :-)!
    I reckon a simple Ball-Peen hammer can break 100db too if you get them to listen close enough to an I-Beam.

    FWIW: Gave the little Stihl 241C a hard run today out of its built zone. We were aiming for some rustic looking skins freehand taken off Ironbark tops and it certainly gave us that, lol :-)

    Full credit to the saw with incorrect chain used, kept zinging for some 6 x 3.0m runs over a few fuel stops.
    Came into its own as a backup carving saw to the MS171 currently away but near as light yet got the rough job done still.



    Electric will surely be the future for all certainly on smaller stuff now with instant torque instead of 2 stroke finger control, lol :-)

    So, I compared the Stihl MS 211
    https://www.stihl.com.au/STIHL-Produ...71/MS-211.aspx
    to the Husky 435
    https://www.husqvarna.com/au/product...-ii/967651301/

    and decided on the Husky. Simply because you buy 1L 2 stroke oil and 5L bar oil ( $50) and get 3 year extended warranty.
    Stihl, you buy 1L 2 stroke oil only ( $32) and only get 2 year extended warranty
    and the stihl dealer basically told me that HE would buy a husky..... except the $249 ones as they are crap.
    They pretty much stack up the same. Time will tell whether it was the right choice.

    Good choice I reckon Kat. I think the 211 is just that little bit small for aussie hardwood.

    For what it’s worth @kat I’ve always been a Stihl man but recently got offered a near new Husky 575 that I couldn’t knock back , in my opinion it’s leaps n bounds ahead of the Stihls - starts easier & QUIET ! Bloody brilliant saw , I’ve got a little Stihl I carry in the truck as it fits in the toolbox , a few of my mates have battery operated saws they carry in their trucks & swear by them .

    personally im running a pair of makita dcs7901 saws, 79cc running 20,24 and 30" bars, for both track clearing and firewood duties. had one for 10 years and it had been such a good saw that i couldnt say no when i spotted the second on clearance for half price last year, some great bargins were around the last 12 months on saws mowers etc with the new emmission laws for outdoor power equipment kicking in this julychainsaws.jpgsaw.jpg

    Bit off-track, bit knackered, half cut done maybe too, very satisfied though with somewhat artistically working with Aussie hardwoods these days. Quite therapeutic needed and finally rewarding when resins have dried and stains are finally on
