Good evening.
This winter we had some bad ice storms that did alot of damage. I have been wanting to get a saw and now I have a really good reason. I have several acres of land that I need to clean up and want to help my in-laws and friends as well.
I worked for an arborist doing ground work years about 15 years ago before I started teaching.
I remembered using mostly Huskys and really liking them. I am looking for my first saw and I would like to keep the cost down as much as possible. I would prefer new. A friend suggested e-bay but I would prefer to support the local shops. Economy has hit us hard.
I came across these three saws:Husqvarna 350, Husqvarna 455, Husqvarna 445 in my searches but ran across this site and thought I would get some opinions on them.
What would be a good saw for what I am looking for. I will be limbing, doing removals, and sawing fire wood. I would like something that could easily handle an 18" bar. I like the Huskys but would be open to other suggestions?
Thanks
