Stihl MS 271 Wood Boss Built tough for storm cleanup, tree felling and firewood cutting, the Stihl MS 271 Wood Boss is designed with improved er- gonomics and equipped with a low- emission, fuel-efficient engine. It produces 50-percent lower emissions, reduces fuel consumption, and delivers 20-percent longer running times than similar traditional 2-stroke Stihl chain saws. Designed with comfort in mind for farmers, landowners, tree farmers, firewood cutters and tree service ground crews, the Stihl MS 271 utilizes a compact, ergonomic design with an advanced anti- vibration system to help reduce operator fatigue while providing optimum control. A side-access chain tensioner makes for easy chain adjustment, and the pre-separation air filtration system offers greater cleaning efficiency and longer filter life. Stihl Inc. Tanaka’s CS40EA18 Featuring excellent power and versatility, Tanaka’s CS40EA18 is a 40-cc, 18-inch, rear-handle, commercial-grade chain saw that is ideal for firewood cutting and hobby work. Powered by Tanaka’s PureFire low- emission 2-stroke engine, it contains an air purge bulb and half throttle for easy and reliable starts, as well as an automatic chain oiler to keep the Oregon bar and chain at peak cutting efficiency. Finally, it’s backed by Tanaka’s 7-year consumer, 2-year commercial and 1-year rental warranties. Tanaka Power Equipment WORX chain saws WORX chain saws are robust and light- weight, making them ideal for residential use. All models (WG300, 14-inch bar, 14 amp, 3 hp.; WG303, 16-inch bar, 14.5 amp, 3.5 hp.; and WG304, 18-inch bar, 15 amp, 4 hp.) are feature-packed and easy to operate. The patented Auto-Tension, a tool-free chain replacement and tensioning system, secures the bar and tensions the chain from a single dial. A built- in safety brake stops the chain when improper contact is made, protecting the user in the event of kick- back. Additionally, a rubber over-molded rear handle and ergonomic contoured front handle provide optimum control and comfort.
