Importing Saw from the USA

[adammm]

Hey guys, been lurking around for a while and thought it would be time to join up, i have recently found a little obsession with cutting wood,
im 17 and from Australia we dont solely heat with wood but we do have a fireplace which i try to use reqularly i have a Mculloch2818AV we have had it for around 5 years and is still working fine and havent had a problem with it. but as im getting more into cutting and will be getting a driving licence soon hopefully i will be cutting a lot more and will be looking for a new saw but with prices being ridiculous in AUS i was looking at bringing in something from the states, and was wondering what sites you would recommend buying from, and what saw you would recommend im on a light budget as i dont make a whole load of money at my age havent decided between stihl or husky yet.
I dont normally cut large wood so i dont think ill ever really need anything more than a 20inch bar :msp_smile:
