Dolmar or Stihl

Sorry Steve, Rocky is correct. Most manufacturers entry level saws are rated for 50 hours. Stihl does build a 300 hour version of the MS250, it's called an MS260
It's all about compliance with emission regs, a Wild Thing has the same 50 hour rating as the 250 yet they are entirely different breeds of cat.

 We all know that Stihl has 50  , 150 and 300 hour saws . Echo just has 300 hour saws being as they are built better and last longer than Stihl 50 and 150 hour saws.  What is Rocky correct about, he's trying to say that the EPA hour ratings make no difference in the quility of the saw which is a pile of bs.    Steve
