    If I have a choice I get the flocked filters. They filter the smallest size.

    Ive never ran either but would love to. Talked with an old logger the other day who used/liked both Stihl/Husky in his career but wasnt too fond of the Dolmars they had used? Said they didnt hold up?

    We did that 2 years ago this time. Had to move the oldest into the library room we had and make her room for the baby. Pink paint is not my favorite but it is hers.
