I would agree, Stihl. Buy from a servicing dealer if possible instead of a "high volume" box store such as Home Depot or even a Farm and Home or similar. I would not be afraid to buy a good used Stihl, as my Stihl I bought used has lasted longer than a Craftsman, two Poulans, and a Homelite all bought new. I DO use the genuine Stihl mix oil in it and my (also Stihl) string trimmer and leaf blower. It already has fuel stabilizer in the mix, and running at 50:1, not as likely to foul out the spark plug as the 32:1 machines. Come to think of it, I don't even think I have a spare plug for my Stihls, unless it would happen to be the same one Lawnboy uses. I keep a spare on hand for them. My chainsaw sees little use, but the other 2 pieces do. Besides my mail route, I put up hay on shares and still do a little custom lawn care, so the other 2 pieces do get used.
