I just bought a home on some acreage in western WI and need a chainsaw for taking care of the downed trees on my land. At most I will probably need to cut 4-8 downed trees per year. Most of the trees on my land are 6"-12" poplar or birch, with some oak or maples that can be a larger in diameter. While I would love the quality of a professional grade power saw, they are probably more saw than I need and are also out of my price range. I was hoping to spend between $300-$400.
I've narrowed it down to the Stihl MS290 farm boss with an 18" bar, or a Husqvarna 450 with a 20" bar. I can get the Farm Boss in a 20" bar for about $10 more than the 18" bar. Both are priced about the same, $399.
I'm looking for feedback to help me make a decision.
Thanks!
