The Stihl company, Headquartered in Germany makes all Stihl tools,including chainsaws.
Stihl make their own chainsaws
Efco makes Efco chainsaws, they are an Italian company. Their chainsaws are excellent pro level saws that compare directly with other top manufacturers. They use to make saws for John Deere until 2007 when JD signed a contract with Stihl. They can found under other names such as Olympic I believe.
Some Stihl chainsaws are, in spite of them being a German company.
Yes, although the company also manufactures in Germany, their home.
MS stands for 'Magnum Series' of Stihl chainsaws, their moderate to average use line.ACTUALLY: PER ANDREAS STIHL HIMSELF: IT'S "MOTO SAGEN"...GERMAN FOR "POWER-SAW".
I like Stihl but it would really be a matter of choice. Husqvarna makes some pretty killer saws as well.
A Stihl 096 is a chainsaw. It is one of their most popular chainsaws for use when cutting down trees in residential areas.
usually the super means a slightly larger displacement
All depends, some usa, some germany or Switzerland, some in Brazil
log on to the Oregon chain saw web site and compare the model numbers
STIHL dealers do not normally discount their chainsaws. During end of year sales they may slightly discount older models. The best deals are going to be found by buying used through local trading papers, CraigsList, or other places where people sell used items.
