I’ve recently gotten into chainsaws and tree care. Im 17 and this will be my first chainsaw.
I’ve done ton of research but still can’t decide what chainsaw i should go for. My budget is 200-300 €, which in my country, i can get a used husqvarna 340;345;350;440;445 and some xp models like the 550;555;560. I’ve looked into stihl’s too, but there is much less of those than husqvarnas, on the used market. (Although my relative said that stihl’s are more powerful than husqvarnas, and i should look more in to them)
I would be using the chainsaw for medium to hard cleanup around the property and do the occasional job like sizing trees or cleaning up.
Now, i think a saw like 340 would be too weak for the job i would be doing , but on the other hand , a XP model, would be too expensive to fix + i wouldnt be able to use all of its power.
My main criteria are - Somewhat cheap to fix, enough power and reliable.
