I have searched and searched, my apologies if this rehashes old questions long answered.
I am a family man on $300 or less budget who just bought a few acres of heavily wooded Virginia land that was neglected for two years (no one lived here). Plus, the house has two wood burning stoves.
I would like to jump into a used pro-grade saw but am open to a decent consumer grade saw. I don't think I have many trees that are more than 8" in diameter that I will be using a chainsaw on.
I am not afraid to tinker with nor maintain tools and equipment but would prefer either a new saw or one refurbished/checked over from someone the forum recommends.
I am somewhat weight sensitive as though I am in decent shape and not weak, both my strong side elbow and shoulder have had to be surgically rebuilt. I am not entirely new to using a saw but I will damn sure be safe and wear PPE.
S/F to my fellow Marines on here.
Thank you for your time if you've read this.
