I would go with someone bigger and more midrange than I have now. Something in the 70-80 cc range for the bigger stuff and dropping trees, and something light and powerful to carry around for limbs and bucking small stuff. 40-50 cc and under 10 lbs.
In my brand that would be a Dolmar/Makita 7900 and 420, but a 5100 would do as well.
In a Husky that would be the 543 and 372.
In a Stihl a 026 and 044 in the older models and the new 241 and 460 fit the bill.
I am sure that some other brands make models that also would be suitable, but I don't keep up with there model numbers. It would be nice if saw makers would do like truck manufacturers and number them consistently like 1500, 2500, 3500. Makes it a lot easier to compare.
