Great site! I have not used a chainsaw in over 25 years, so plenty green here. I am looking for a good home use saw to cut downed branches (biggest is 10") and my sisters new acerage that has about 20 small trees, the larger ones about 12".
After reading here, I know to stay away from "wild thing" and craftsmen saw. Local Stihl has the M170 w/14" bar for $159., good choice? Can also get the Husky 141 for $199., which is my $ limit. I see where the Husky has a 2 yr. warranty comapred to Stihl's 1 yr. Big factor? I also found a very lightly used Echo CS 346 for $150. Yeah or nay?
