Recently, I reached out to an online store because I needed a chainsaw for preparing firewood for the winter. It's not that I have a lot, but there is some cutting to do. It turned out that the whole process took about a week, and then I had to help a neighbor, but that's beside the point... I asked the consultant from Amazon for help with my choice. Initially, I wanted to get the Stihl 230+, but after a brief conversation, I realized that the 180 would be more than enough for me. In the end, we've been using it for several months now, and everything is great with the neighbors, everyone is satisfied... My advice is to get a spare chain right away, as it dulls quickly with prolonged use, and to avoid downtime, it's better to have a replacement.
