hello Arboristsite!
I just bought my first piece of property and will slowly convert mixed hardwoods and pine over to productive food forest and more intensive gardens. I will be cutting a lot of wood in the next 2-3 years. I have some experience running a saw managing invasive species for the City of Portland. They were Stihl saws, sometimes they worked, sometimes not so much.
After research into many many saws, I am thinking a 50-60cc saw for my first saw. The common favorite all round saw seems to be the Husky 346XP.
As I type this I am working on purchasing a Husqvarna 346xp locally. Not sure yet if its OM or NE. (orange cover)???
It comes with a 20 inch bar/chains setup I will have to downsize to a 16".
Is 300 a fair price for this saw in good working order?
Looking forward to learning more and sharing. Thanks for a great site!\
