Thread: Stihl chainsaw choice

We’re living on 1/2 acre with plenty of hedges and small trees on the boundary, so I’m looking to buy a pruning/trimming/small-tree-felling Stihl. Shortlist based on T/M and other places is:

MS170 with 14” bar (seems a very basic 32 cc unit)
MS180 with 16” bar and 32 cc motor
MS211 with 16” bar. 40cc

Possibly an 023 model with 16” bar

I’m used to operating a Husky 20” unit but a son thought it would be better living in Auckland and I feel it woukd be far too heavy for the type of work I intend doing.
Any own one of my shortlist models and prepared to comment on degree of performance/satisfaction please? Many thanks in advance.
