Need a gasoline engine driven chain saw around 22-24 inches. Any first
hand recommendations?

Thanks

Three, in order of their quality

1. Stihl
2. Johnserand (mostly European)
3. Husqvarna

HTH, and good luck. Don't cheap out on a cheap saw. You can fix and
maintain Stihl and Husky's from a common supplier. So long as you don't
screw up the gas mix and run it without enough oil, the other problems are
nuts and bolts. When you do go buy a good saw, you will have a $200 boat
anchor. Don't listen to those who tell you Echo and Poulan and such are
good saws. If you use it at all, you will burn it up, and be in the market
for a REAL saw.

Hmmmm....my Poulan has been working fine since I bought it in 2004.

Guess I got a lemon.

has it cut 20 to 40 cords of hedge (osage orange) per year? or just
pruned redbuds in the fall?
