I'd like some thing light enough not to tire me while cutting firewood yet big enough to cut a few dozen beams 4"x18" and smaller.
I only cut a couple cords per year and the wood I'd be milling would be Doug Fir or Pine.
I have a MS260 as my firewood saw now and it seems too small about 60% of the time.
Physically, the Husky 372 and Stihl 460 seem about as big as my stature would want to be swinging around for firewood. Would they be sufficient for the milling I want to do though?
Open to all suggestions. With every nickel counting though, I'll need the most bang for the buck... and I'm not all that keen to buy used...unless it wasn't used much and it was a screaming deal.
