Im looking to purchase a good trimming saw. I have aprox 12 acres of wood and brush to clear which is mostly composed of cedar, oak and scrub. I already own a Husky 359 and it serves me well in felling large oak trees that have died. However I belive a smaller saw than than the 359 would be good for limbing. Ive looked at the 142 and it for all purposes it looks to be an entry level saw and I dont know if it would hold up running all day? The 338xpt is aprox 200 dollars more. Is it 200 dollars better than the 142? Is there another brand/model that would work just as well as the 338 and cost less? Basically im looking for a saw that I will be around for a few years and do hard work and not be a throw away.
Thanks much
