Who's got the best deals on STIHL CHAINSAWS? Looking for new MS251 C B-e 16" bar is my preferred model.

Stihl maintains very strict retail pricing. Unless you are a contractor who buys lots of equipment and qualifies for fleet or other discounts Or have a very good relationship with your local power equipment dealer, i think you’ll find any savings won’t amount to you spending a whole bunch of time on it.

Check with Empire Seed Co in Temple. I've gotten good deals from them on Stihl and Gravely.

Ace Hardware carries them. Never bought a Stihl from them but I've had good luck using them for other stuff.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

I have an MS250. Great chainsaw, but I do not like the newfangled gas and bar oil caps this saw has, but it’s no deal killer.
I had the easy chain tensioner on an MS 180C, and really liked it. Wish I’d gotten it on this 250.

I just bought one about 6 mos ago, and it is leaps and bounds above my old Poulan, and better than my father in laws 3 echos.

I don't think you'll get much of a price break from any Stihl dealer. The best I ever did was $10 off and a gimme cap from Paige tractor.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Stihl maintains very strict retail pricing. I've noticed that too and have wondered how they get away with it. Borderline price fixing if you ask me. It's why my last saw was an Echo.

that is who I deal with for stihl, like said, pricing will be retail no matter who you go to. I used to own 6 stihl, 12" bar up to 48" bar/6 hp (that one was flat dangerous if you weren't paying attn) and never got a deal on anything other than a bar chain combo sometimes. I went thru bars/chains about every 3 months tho. this is what I used to build with them. 65' across the bottom.

Nice place Hop. I have an echo that was given to me. Went to the garage to start it up after about 5 years of not having run it. About 25 pulls and off it went, running like a champ.

I did the log work and all the posts/handrail you see in the pic. one bed cost 95k back in 97 or so when it was built.

I don’t see it that way Dan. Many companies with high quality products do it. The retailers run a sale when the manufacturers tell them to. That’s it. Look at your scopes, leupold, NF, Kahles, etc all have MAP pricing.

I have an older Husqvarna, and had some good service, but it's time for its big brother STIHL to come in and take over. and what I've found is the pricing is very rigid all across the table. Probably will go with Atwoods since I have a farm account with them; Tractor Supply carries Husqvarna but not STIHL.

We’ve had a local Stihl dealer. Then McCoys started selling Stihl products. I drive past Mcoys to get to local guys place.

Around here you can get Stihl at the John Deere dealer, the Kubota dealer and the New Holland dealer and maybe a few more places.
