Stihl sexy MS 211
One homesteading tool that I
would have a hard time doing without is a good chainsaw.
That's why finding a solid
backup to our trusty Stihl 039 has been on my to do list for
years now. The 039 has been an outstanding saw, but when we got it I
didn't know much about the finer elements of operating one of these
machines and in retrospect wished I had chosen a slightly lighter model
for 80 percent of the cutting we do around here.
Now the plan is to shift the 039 to backup status with today's
arrival of the new and sexy MS 211. Luck would have it that while
supplies last you can buy a 6 pack of Stihl synthetic 2 cycle mixing
oil and double the warranty from 1 to 2 years. The synthetic seems to
be just a bit higher in price and the word on the playground is that
the extra performance is worth the money.
