Got Jonesred, Stihl, and Husky dealers close enough to me to make it even harder to figure out which one to get.
The Husky ain't cheap, and neither is the better Stihl(although the 192T is smaller-it might still work out), and the Jonesred's seem to be all but missing. I'd have a hard time finding some from Echo nearby, so I guess they are out of the running.....
I am definitely not what someone would call a chainsaw mech....I can do the little things and keep them serviceably cleaned up and whatnot. But doing re-builds or the like is not something I'd feel comfortable doing without someone looking over my back. Can't count the number of times when I was a kid re-building car engines that I would end up with extra parts!
Got time, I hope. So I'll just keep looking.......
