I have two chain saws.
One is an electric I think it is a Remington
The other is a Husquvarna Rancher 455.

I rarely need to cut down anything large but for big jobs or away from
the house I grab the Rancher. For small jobs around the house I grab
the electric. It has the advantage of not creating a lot of noise and
fumes and all I need to check is the oil and then cut.

The size saw you buy depends on what you think your going to need to
cut. I know people with several saws of different sizes. They grab
something small when needed and something large when it is needed.

Hey,

I am looking for a new chainsaw, as I'd like to start harvesting more
wood to feed the habit. I'd love to hear any advice you folks might
have. I know I want a gas powered saw, and I suppose it's better to
buy a longer bar rather than a shorter one -- my old 16 inch was a
little lacking sometimes.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
