Have a 13 year old son who has started a little firewood business with a buddy of his. I’ve been doing all the felling/bucking, they split/stack/etc.
Thinking about getting him started on a chainsaw. My MS362cm will be too much for him. We will of course take a lot about safety and PPE and such and go slow with this.
What I ~should~ probably do is just get him a ms170. Stihl dealer/parts support in my area is far and away the best. That saw has been around a long time and has a generally positive reputation.
But I’m not always Mr. Practical. I’d kinda like to go a different route. Curious what you all think about the Husqvarna 120 Mark II and 135 Mark II?
(What I really want is to get the little Dolkita 43xxxx. But dealer support here is completely non-existent).
