For anyone who is interested, I have compiled a complete database of chainsaw specifications (weight, power, price, oil/fuel capacity) for Echo, Stihl, Husqvarna, Olympyk, Oleo-Mac, Jonsered, John Deere, Shidaiwa, Tanaka, Makita, and Solo. Some prices are missing yet, but for the others I have entered the best prices I could find. I can then enter search criteria like displacement, power, weight, and price, and also rate the importance of these characteristics from 1-5, and the list of applicable saws will show in order with the most recommended first. It is an Microsoft Access database that I would be glad to email to anyone interested, or look up saws for anyone who may not have Access. The recommendations do not take into account chainsaw features, durability, dealer availability, or user recommendations. I simply chose reputable brands to begin with.
