I am looking for probably 18"- 20" gas powered chainsaw to clear and thin
out some under brush, saplings, scrub oaks, limbs and occasional downed
trees from my parents wooded property ( there is about 2 acres of
overgrown wooded area they want cleaned up ) .

So, i was looking at the big box DIY stores and i see Homelight, Poulan,
ECHO, Stihl, Blue Max, Ryobi, Poulan Pro, Husqvarna with prices from
149 - 499.

For just this task I had earlier a 16" Husqvarna and then
a 20" Poulan, both of which were troublesome (and one
died). Five years ago I bought (used) a 14" Stihl which
does more work, is lighter thus easier to handle, and starts
and runs trouble-free.
