[QUOTE="Tim, post: 692232, member: 71"] I have had a Stihl MS280 for about 5 years now and it is not what I expected as far as problems I have had with the saw. I have had to replace the bearing on the clutch 3 times now and when the bearing goes it takes out the clutch and the automatic oiler also. The last time the shop told me it tells you in the owner's manual that you are suppose to grease the bearing every time you replace the bar. The easy chain adjustment, no tools needed, that I have is a god send but the shop tells me they think that attributes to the bearing going out quicker on my saw. So now I know and hopefully won't have that problem again. I have never had a problem starting it and when it is running it is a good saw. I would say that overall it is a good saw but I didn't excpect the problems that I have had since I had heard so many good things about Stihl and you pay for that name also. [/QUOTE]
