    I see a "runs great" local ad for a Stihl 056AV that shows some wear in the pix.
    They're asking 400 bucks.

    Thoughts on getting for an alaskan mill setup or keep looking?

    Lennyzx11 that saw has plenty of power the only drawback is the fuel and oil caps are facing up if I remember correctly and that means when you run out of fuel mid cut you cannot fuel the saw while in the log you have to pull out of the cut to fuel it just a pain in the neck JB

    Just a plain 056AV? Kinda spendy for one of those. If it was a Super or a Magnum, whole different ballgame there.
