[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 3448243, member: 3448"] I know from friends that Echo are good saws, but I've been a Stihl guy since the 90s when I was logging cedar trees. My go to is a MS 290 with 18" bar used mostly for cutting firewood. It's at least 20 years old. Since getting older I purchased a 181c for trimming. Like [USER=43171]@Cowcatcher[/USER] I have found a shorter bar to be beneficial. I swapped the 16" bar on the 181 for a 14" and like it much better. And since climbing a ladder or a tree with a saw no longer appeals to me I have a 16' Stihl pole saw that is outstanding. Currently have several large elm and hackberry piles that need to be cut up and am considering a larger saw but after handling a 391 I think I'll stick with the 290. Now which log splitter to get?
