I'd go with that Echo seeings how spending $300 to $400 on a Stihl or a Husky just seems like such a waste for the quanity of small diameter trees. If your going to be harvesting firewwood off this property that would be a different story but it sounds more like a seasonal clean-up
:agree2: I had a line of poplars on my property that dropped last year, you can cut a 1' poplar with a fingernail file, birch isn't much tougher. If that's all you got, then I don't think that I spend any big money on a pro saw.

A Husky 353 sounds like a good choice. Should be at the $400 mark. Lightweight and good power/reliability. The size of the trees he is dealing with, he doesn't need a heavier larger saw. It's necessarily about getting the biggest or most powerful saw for the amount of money allocated in the budget ;)
