I've read that you can put a bigger jug on many old Husqvarnas. This may be a good option or even fixing a dead saw. What about the old Homelites? I'm looking for something that will be faster for chunking firewood (12-20" diameter mostly). I would be using a 20" bar and the most aggressive chisel chain pitch I can fit on the saw (3/8 or 404).
btw, inexpensive being $75-200.
I should add, my current 'big' saw is a muffler modded Stihl 038 (bought broken in that price range). Maybe I just need to invest in the best 20" bar and chain I could put on that. It currently has 3/8" pitch with a worn bar and sprocket.
