Ready for my first new chainsaw

[mowoodchopper]

I would consider the husky 450 instead of the 455. It has .3 hp less but also is .9lbs less. I am guessing that the .3hp could be gained by a muffler mod.

That being said I would also check dolmar. I think the 5100 would be exactly what you would need. I couldn't find a local dealer untill after I had made my saw puchase but here is the link to the dealer locator.

for sure man take the 450 over the 455!

Personally, i like the Echo and the Husky. I haven't bought a stihl yet but i hope to get one soon so i can have an educated opinion on them. Not too many people like to play with saws around here.

Well, I got my saw today.......chose a Stihl MS-290 with a 20" bar.

Check the J-Red dealers and see if you can find a leftover 2150. These are great little saws[50cc]. I agree with the Husky 350, if you could find one, or the 450. [Same as the 2150]

I would lean towards the J-Red if you could find one without a primer bulb. Just my preferance.

ill second the 270.

great little low vibe saw, with enough power to run 20" and be happy doing it.
