Top Handle or Rear Handle Chainsaw?

[buttercup]

Thank you for your replies. Sounds like an MS 170/180 or equivalent Echo rear handle saw would be the best and safest chainsaw for my purposes.

I’ve done some research on felling trees and have decided that I would only fell trees whose trunk diameter are less than 6 inches. Too many things that can go wrong if I attempt to fell larger trees.

Well, as a human being you learn pretty quick so those 6" wont be a challenge for long. That MS250 with a 13" bar is good for 26" when you cut from both sides. Just don't get your guide bar pinched and step away when the tree starts tilting.
