Chainsaw advice
Here another question....
Have you ever used a chainsaw before? I've seen many dumb things done with chainsaws. You really hurt yourself badly with one simple mistake. One example is that TV ad where the guy cuts down a big tree and drops it on his car. I saw some neighbors nearly do the same thing a few months ago. If you have never used a chainsaw before I'd recommend getting a smaller saw, learn how to use it and take care of it first.

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. tt |

Chainsaw advice
We`ve had a 18" Husky 356 for about 5yrs now. Works as well as the day
we got it (thats a good thing). Would really aim for something longer than 18". I have to double cut too much. Someday I`ll replace the bar with a 28" (max size for this saw). |
