I would recommend a Stihl MS251C. I have run mine for two years now. I am amassed on it's fuel economy. At first, I thought that I had made a mistake when I bought it, (a bit shy on power, and could not get used to NOT having to reef on the starter rope, I ripped one out by the routs, but was fixed under warranty.) Now I use it almost exclusively. My MS180 just sets in it's cradle on the skidding arch most of the time. The features that I like the best is the easy start recoil system, after I got used to it !! All one has to do is just make a nice easy slow pull on the starter rope which winds a spring to spin the engine. No more fast hard pulls on the starter rope. It has a primer bulb, and on a cold start, I give that a couple pushes, set the choke and give it a nice easy pull. It usually starts on first or second pull. The wrenchless bare tightening system is really slick also. It has a simple flip out handle on the tightening nut, and a finger knob that you push with your finger to adjust chain tension. It takes just seconds to adjust it. Very very handy when you are liming and a limb knocks the chain off. Just loosen the bar lock nut, spin the tension knob backwards, put chain back on bar, tension it, and turn bare nut tight. No fumbling around with one of those screnches, that you likely lost out of your pocket somewhere, that other saws require. I can put the chain back on rite in the middle of a top that I am liming without having to set the saw down. The handle bar isolation system is also very good. I run it with an 18" bar, but it can easily handle a 20" bar now that it is broken in. Loren

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
