Last month I asked, gas or electric chainsaw and chose gas. Now what brand? I realize you get what you pay for, but I will only use the saw MAYBE four times a year tops. And then for only an hour or two at most. Just cleaning up fallen limbs from a lot of old trees.
I don't want to spend more than $200, which I know is very low for a gas saw. I was looking at the 170 Stihl, the 141 Husky and some Poulans. I probably only need a 14 or 16 inch bar(won't be cutting down any trees bigger than 8"). I know I am narrowing the choices considerably with the cost limit. But considering how often and for what it will be used for, I can't see spending more to just sit there. It just won't get used!
If anyone can suggest some saws in this price range and that would be a good fit for this type of use, I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S. Please don't suggest a used saw, I don't mind fixing things once they break, but I'd rather be the one that broke it.
