    Go with Stihl, I had one in a storage unit for 13 years, chucked some gas in it. Shook the fck out of it and it fired second pull.
    Got a newer MS250 and rate that well, the easy starts great for when your running round on roof framing or taking out an old macrocarpa from the top down.

    Love my Husky Rancher 455. Never let me down. Seems smoother than mate’s Stihl of similar size.

    I have a lime green $52 Chinese 52cc 20" bar saw which I bought off e bay brand new. I've used it alongside an ancient 55 cc Husky Rancher for 5 years, cutting trees for the home fires. Neither have I ever been let be down except for a nut stripping on the tensioner and a plug on the China. If the log is thicker I swap from the 18" Husky to the green one. It's a tad less powerful ( longer bar) but otherwise just as pleasant as the orange one. One thing you can do, in order to not loose face amongst your mates, is to rip a sticker off your KDX/KX etc and attach it to the green bastard. Fools them every time. Kawasaki..aye? Nice saw...

    The other saw is a 12" Ozita 25cc. I'm on my 3rd one now. It's going stronger than it should and may exceed it's three year warranty...all for an original $110. Bargain!
