Well first I would like to thank all the people who have contributed so much useful information to this site. I have lurked around for a while and been more entertained by some of the threads on here than anything Hollywood has produced in the last 15 years--seriously.
My situation is that I am essentially a landscaper but recently I have had the opportunity to work with an arborist friend and I really enjoy the work. Due to a wrist that is held together with 12 screws, 2 plates, a bone graft and a re-routed tendon I am concerned about the amount of vibration the saw puts out.
So I am looking for a good used professional grade saw that can confidently run a 24" bar and hopefully not kill my wrist with excessive vibration. In my area all the used saws are either Stihl or Husqvarna. So between those two brands which would be a better choice as far as ability to be rebuilt and the quality of aftermarket parts that are available. I am very handy with a wrench and never mind getting greasy!
Any particular model recommendations would be appreciated. And yeah I have read quite a few Husq vs. Stihl threads--not looking to start any of that here.
