Hey folks,

First time poster... I'm in need of a decent quality chainsaw under $400 that's fairly light and will be used in a half acre suburban property. I will use it for branch cuts, post-strom cleanups and some tree cutting (under 12" diameter) and nothing too hard (mostly evergreens). Occasionally I get my hands on some ash longs tat are over 3' and so I cut these up for splitting (firewood use).

Brands I've consider range from the Echo to Stihl, etc..

thanks in advance...
 
I like all of the Echo saws I've used: cs352 (16 inch), cs370 (16 inch), cs590 (20 inch).

I prefer my cs352 for most tasks because it's light and versatile, but bring out the heavier cs590 when I need more power.

The cs370 belongs to my workplace. It sits for months at a time and gets the job done when I pull it out.
