Need opinions on these. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Stihl HT101 or the Echo PPT-266. I know there's die hard Stihl folks and they make great chainsaws. That being said, I've heard mixed reviews about the power saws. So I'm interested to know of your experiences with these, or any other brand as well.
Thanks.

I run a HL 100 with 135* tilting head at work. Its a great unit but prepare to be sore in new places. It will work your azz off. So much so we use the regular stihl hedge trimmers and a step ladder most of the time.

I have the Poulan Pro, and as good a saw as it is, I can just imagine what a Stihl or an Echo is like! Solid, aggressive cutting saw.

I bought a new Stihl HT 131 telescoping pole saw about a month ago. It'll cut some limbs for sure.
I love it.

DoA HOW DO YOU LIKE THE POULAN Not too impressed with the string trimmer head, but the chainsaw is solid. Chain usually stays pretty tight, isn't hard to tighten when it does stretch, cuts well, stays pretty sharp. Attachments lock up easily and stay secure, come apart easily when you want them to. As I said, I don't like the trimmer head, but I'll probably replace that with a something else in the near future.
