I have done the google searches. Now the internet is filled with 50/50
conflicting advice and reviews.

Does anyone her have experience with the big retailer brand gas
powered chainsaws ?

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.

I would like to stick *to lower end prices.

Is there a best of the cheap ?

thanks for helpful replies,
robb


Son and I had problems with both our Poulan Wild Things. Would not
buy another Poulan or any other chain saw advertised for occassional
use. Only good thing with HD is that they refunded son's purchase
after about 3 months.
