Troy chain saws

In my opinion as a arborist. The easy start and tooless tensioner is just somethings else to break. I would suggest getting a saw with decompression.

Found a 2nd hand top handle Stihl 009 so we took it outside to try it. After a dozen pulls I gave it to the salesman. He tried it, then took it back to the service Dept. My 026 starts easier.
Looked at new saws at Home Depot. Instructions said to prime 6-8 times, pull over 6-8 times, release choke, pull over another 6-8 times, then start over. No one in that department knew where to take it for service.....

Agreed. But you're into 50+cc heavier saws before you start seeing decompression valves. So that might be a factor.
