How much does stihl d cost?

Only £2.71 each without VAT. That's 3.18 euros or 3.45 USD.

Very good value for such good quality, strong handles.

Not a chainsaw, but 55 years ago today I bought my first new car, a 1968 Mustang panted Sunlit Gold Metallic with black stripes and a 289 with 3 in the floor. I don't think there are any pics left, anywhere!

I have one big engine and I'm struggling with the usual handle, although it's still good because the rubber Brigs

I got myself a psw4000 portable capstan winch for pulling cut logs and felling trees in places where I can only get to on foot.. had a chance to use it, works very well

I like Stihl D handles. I'd put them on all my saws. Work great with winter gloves.

Bought this Stihl HOS grinder used. After cleaning it up it's pretty much as good as new. Only the cover next to the grinding wheel is missing.

Is there a big difference in using a Stihl USG with the adjustable head in stead of this, which has a fixed head?

If you are happy with the fixed grinder head angle: no problem.

If you want to grind at other angles: problem.

Nice grinder.

I didn't know there was such a model

I wasn't really looking for a grinder, just came across it. Haven't been able to test it out. I am offshore now, so it will have to wait until I get back. Not sure what grinding wheel is fitted at the moment.

A grinding wheel for rakers came with it in a box.

I just saw that a lot of people prefer the USG one because of the tilting head.

I looked it up, and if I followed, it grinds at 60 degrees for a 3/8 chain. Which isn't bad. Different pitch chains it changes the angle apparently.

Madsen’s sells wheels for it, along with STIHL dealers.

Thanks, this overview is new to me. Interesting that it shows 2 different angles in some cases. The only part that is adjustable is the chain vice or whatever it's called.
