- I've had a Stihl 023 for probably 15 years- I THINK it's a 14" and has done anything I need- - Rick601 2014-10-16 13:58:21 (168 views)
- Bigger Stihls are still made in Germany. Smaller displacement models are produced elsewhere. - 30V-6 2014-10-15 22:28:19 (168 views)
- Another vote for Stihl - well built, parts readily available, etc. 18" bar will serve - Grapeking 2014-10-15 21:15:30 (155 views)
- Unless you need the exercise, skip the 24". - RKA 2014-10-15 20:39:48 (155 views)

  - Also, get an electric sharpener (or attachment for a Dremel). - Pablo 2014-10-15 15:18:35 (156 views)
    - Sharpen every other tank of fuel. Jeebus. - diehlryan 2014-10-15 16:45:00 (132 views)
      - It helps, a lot.  -  Pablo  2014-10-15 21:13:15 (148 views)
        
        I disagree that a chainsaw should be sharp for the same reasons woodworkers have sharp chisels.  -  diehlryan  2014-10-16 20:45:21 (144 views)
        
        if you use a file, it probably does take longer.  -  Pablo  2014-10-17 08:16:48 (112 views)
        
        Not really. For the kind of touch up you're talking about its quick.  -  RKA  2014-10-17 10:21:39 (141 views)
    - I just replace the chain when it gets dull - PaulW 2014-10-15 16:27:11 (170 views)
      - Srsly?  -  Pablo  2014-10-15 16:43:26 (161 views)
        
        How long does it take you to sharpen the chain?   -  gription  2014-10-15 17:44:35 (158 views)
        
        5 minutes.  -  Pablo  2014-10-15 21:11:28 (158 views)
        
        Quicker than I imagined.  -  gription  2014-10-17 10:34:38 (115 views)
        
        I think it's worth it because the saw cuts quicker too.   -  Pablo  2014-10-17 11:41:28 (138 views)
        
        No question  -  gription  2014-10-17 16:14:08 (111 views)
        
        Ah. My dad has a wood stove that he gets most of his heat with.   -  Pablo  2014-10-17 17:42:08 (159 views)
- 24" is too big and heavy for your work. A 20" Sthil Farm Boss would be plenty of saw and cost less. - Seattle_Scott_inside_a_Virtual_Machine 2014-10-15 14:40:53 (165 views)
