    I can highly recommend VC Traders in Warragul, I buy all my gear there and the guys and girls that work there are awesome!
    I've never used them but know a few people who do but apparently Morley's in Traralgon are really good too.

    Usually morleys. Not a fan. The guy at central mowers in mwell was pretty good.

    Yeah fair enough don't deal with them personally, lucky got an awesome stihl shop up our neck of the woods. As mentioned by Phil would avoid the quick tensioner they're not very robust can't beat old school. Do have to say can't stand Huskies system for the chain tensioner is a PITA . .

    Check out their shop next time youre in the Sydney Rd area.
    Those Aldi have a poor drive sprocket design, If I had a choice Id go a small Sthil then a Huskie
    Stay clear from those Baurm chinese Sthil copies. Cheap but nasty IMO

    Might be another good option below Kat as per Rossco’s 261 small-mid size advice.
    Forgot we purchased an MS241C late last year for the boys up in our coupe dropping up to 300mm diameter Sugargum & Ironbark.
    No complaints or breakdowns so far and it generally goes hard for 2 days straight once a week.

    How are they getting on with the auto adjuster mark? This is the option I referred to in an earlier post that has been problematic for me in the past.

    The MS241 is the smallest in the professional range, it has the standard adjusting system and not the plastic ratchet style.

    I've owned the ALDI one for a few years now. To be honest ,it just works . Starts alright , runs fine.
    Been used on just about all my camping trips. It's actually pretty good for $120 or so...
    The only issue with it is it leaks bar oil if the saw sits there for a while.

    But I'm still leaning towards getting a proper saw.
