I find it's always best to ask advice AFTER I've made a purchase... so here goes
I need a chainsaw for trail clearing when I'm out 4x4ing, so typical use will be small windfall up to 14". Space is a limiting factor in my truck.
I'll also use this for typical homeowner duties, limbing and occasional falling, but nothing real big as I'd get a professional for that. I'd also be doing some firewood, but not more than a 1/2 chord a season.
The saw I chose is the Echo 330T. I chose it cause it's small and easy to use one handed if need be on the trail to reach high up. I'm hoping it'll be powerful enough to cut through the extensive amount of pine beetle killed wood we have in B.C. (quite hard) for firewood.
I'm concerned with one comment I read on this site that said
what do you think of my choice?
thanks!

top handles are significantly more dangerous and less effective than rear handled saws
