    My new toy. Stihl MS 170. I was looking for a smaller saw for a while as my old MS 250 is over 18 years old now. I had it in with a dealer this year getting a new muffler and he said that the compression is perfect in it. Still, great to have a smaller one for around the farm. At €245 delivered from Robert Kee in Donegal, you can't complain. A bit pissed off to see the 'Made by Stihl in China' though. I've a feeling it won't last as long as the MS 250.
    12" bar and just 2 two-strokes oil and spanner with it.

    Well wear.... I have a 039 here myself since 1998. It's a great saw, but I often felt like getting something lighter too. I have hardly enough work for one saw though......

    I'm just curious, l thought you couldn't buy a stihl on-line, it was to cut out the sale of replicas. Could be wrong.

    Don't know about that but maybe all the MS xx1 models etc are not made in China.
    It's €275 now and I'm almost certain it was €235 2 days ago when I looked at it first. It was €245 when I ordered.

    I'd say the best stuff has been picked over already, easier way to do fleet renewal and clear the accumulated stuff.

    1999 6210 John Deere with 2226 hours. Thats 2 hours a week over it's lifetime. It does look very clean, to be fair.

    Looks a genuine 2226 hours,not 12,226, from what's on view. It has the **** of a right hand shuttle though.

    In saying all that, you wouldn't find me paying 26 k for a 20year old 6210 no matter how much somebody says it's a future classic.

    Looks reasonable value to me. Far better than paying 26k for a high hours 10 year old machine in my view. It’ll sell to the right lad.

    Id agree with you .
    And another thing to think about is what a new equilivent would cost now . 70k ? It makes it look good value to that

    It'd be a grand tractor apart from the right hand shuttle, it would be a fair dose using it along with a leader

    Not having driven one whats the issue with the right hand shuttle? Also, whats the black thing beside the spool levers?

    Just a pain in the hole moving the hand from the loader controls to the shuttle lever. But ya'll get used to it and wouldn't slow ya down much after a short spell operating it.

    If it's the little black blocks in the slots, they are just stoppers to prevent ya putting the lever up in float position if that's what ya fancy.

    Have you a harrow for the front, my nephew had one of the first guttlers in the country and it was poor until he put the harrow on the front linkage, Adrian elliot designed the Harrow for the front (I think)

    I've wasted more grass seed on my tine harrow than would reseed a farm......what a waste.
    A neighbour used a Guttler in bad conditions this year and it looks great
