Going Green – BioPlus™ Bar and Chain Oil

Starting in 2010 Saco Treeworks is switching to Stihl BioPlus™ bar and chain oil. The new oil is vegetable (not petroleum!) based and is 93% biodegradable within 3 weeks. This is a good thing for both chainsaws and the environment. Bio-plus offers excellent flow characteristics at low temperatures, has a high flash point and, yes, it smells good! More importantly, it is less harmful to humans, animals, micro-organisms and plants which is especially important when working near lakes and streams.  Although it costs twice as much as conventional bar and chain oil, we are excited about this new product and hope to see our customers (and competitors) switching to it in the near future. BioPlus can be special ordered from Lucy Hardware in Intervale, NH.
