Hello,
I'm looking for a chainsaw that is actually dependable. I've been using a husqvarna 236 (X torq) on (mostly) big deciduous trees, which has always been rather erratic in performance, and now might run for 15 minutes or so, and then will not restart until much much later (if at all). Unworkable. I'm kind of tired trying to repair it.
So, I've been looking for a replacement. However, even among those in the (semi-)professional price range, I read a lot of negative reviews complaining about performances similar to what I am experiencing now. An professional arborist recommended a stihl 036 chainsaw, but it is no longer in production and not easy to find second hand where I am at. (Why do companies stop making models which people are actually happy about?).
What chainsaw would you recommend in a price-range of up to, say, $600-$1000? I would really appreciate suggestions from those who use them professionally on a daily basis.
Thanks
