I'm not trying to be a troll, but this seems the most appropriate place to ask my question.

Why do Stihl model numbers not make any sense at all? Husqvarna and Echo actually make sense. I can determine the rough cylinder displacement by reading the model number. Stihl is just all over the place. I've only been paying attention to chainsaws since 2018, so I am obviously a novice, but this has been bugging me for a while.

They make more sense than you might realize.....sometimes.

024 = 2.4cc?

036 = 3.6cc?

But an 066..... = 6.6cc? Not. LOL

So....I'm not sure. Somewhere along the way they lost their minds?

Any chance you could 'find' me in a tree and rehome me at Tina's too Ryan?

She's been a mess the last year, her brother overdosed, her boyfriend and father of her child hung himself...but the girl keeps goin' forward...I give her a ton of credit.

And...her dad was deer hunting in 02' up at their camp and died when it caught on fire...the girl has bad luck.

maybe you should ask yourself this
How come husky changes the sticker on a saw every year or so
Or how many husky saws are the same except for the sticker
Or best yet how can they make junk and people still suck the dealer for one

I'm friggin miserable.

Tell me about it! I could literally see clouds of pollen blowing out of the pine and spruce when I was pruning a sycamore earlier this week.

Woke up yesterday could barely talk and it felt like I was trying to swallow glass. So off to urgent care I go. Allergies related laryngitis. Doc says try not to swallow. Shoulda seen her face when I rasped out how am I supposed to earn a living.

Hope you feel better soon.

Fukin allergies gave me laryngitis this year. Doc says it'll go away on its own.
