Stihl 024AVE vs 031AV ?

[RobertN]

I have used an 024AVE a lot over the years. saw an 031AV on Craigslist locally. Got me wondering...

How do the two compare?

The 031 in pictures, looks bigger and heavier. Acres lists 024 as 41cc, 031 as 48cc.

Both good ole heavysaws. Depending on your need for something with a few more cc's and weight. Also depending on how well the owner took care of it. If oil is all over the side case and the air filter box looks like a sawdust collection site. I would think twice then. You can get the same or more cc's in lighter saws these days.
