I purchased my first chainsaw 2 years ago, a Shindaiwa 352s, 35 cc model. I've enjoyed the saw a lot but found it a bit underpowered. So, I would like to move up to something a bit bigger. The models I'm looking at and their prices in Canadian dollars are:
1. Husqvarna 445 ($428)
2. Husqvarna 450e ($499)
3. Husqvarna 351 ($589)
4. Stihl MS261 ($599)
5. Husqvarna 55 rancher ($449).
The higher end models (261 and 351) might be overkill for me as I don't cut that much but on the other hand, they're not that much more expensive than a higher end homeowner model.
Any advice as to what would be alright for me?
Thanks, in advance, for all responses.
