I've had an O35 and then, after some Canterbury arsehole broke into the shed, an O32AV. Both did good work on anything up to trying to pit saw a 20m Macrocarpa log !!!!
Currently got an MS250, and it handles keeping the gum trees over here in control, around the property - trimming, limbing and felling, as required - seems about on a par with the old O32AV.....but easier to use.

My dinky wee Stihl has been running for some 20 years or more now and, apart from the odd sharpen and one new bar (after some fuckwit jammed it in a log) it has never missed a beat. I'd buy another one.

Good choice , well done.Now all you need is a copy of Barnacle Parps guide to the chainsaw, an oldie but a goodie.

What length is that bar, looks like a 26 in. Keep the chain adjusted, the longer bar wears the chain guides out, you need a 18 in to cut the smaler stuff.
Must be some pretty big pines.

Does look long in the pic but its only a 20 in.Originally Posted by Boo

Yeah that is if you can't find one of these...Get a proper stihl or a husky, or a jonsereds as a last resort.

Just a tip for those looking at buying quality trade appliances - call into a few hire places to see what they are renting, as they know what can handle weekend warrior and apprentice users!
Stihl chainsaws, weedeaters & wet vacs
Hitachi breakers & drills

...i'd forgotten that fuknKIWI had been taking photos in my shed on his last visit...I made that run about 25 years ago and then put it on the shelf...Ohlsen and Rice of Long Beach, Ca, made that thing prior to 1954 which I believe is when they went out of business...cool eh...

Awesome wee motors those ohlson and rice, apparently they do everything from pushbike engines to washing machine engines.Would love to get one for the collection one day. I have a nice collection of old pioneer,s and macoulochs.
