Chain SawsA chain saw will save you a lot of time and effort. It is necessary to cut down large and medium sized trees. There are many types of chain saws available.Husqvarna Chain SawsHusqvarna is a swedish made chain saw. The body is slim and light and the chain teeth are sharp. Husqvarna is just barely more popular than Stihl. The reason is probably not performance. The reason is probably that Husqvarna has been around making chain saws longer than Stihl.Stihl Chain SawsStihl is made in germany. Their chainsaws are of great quality. They are light and slim and are noted for causing less fatigue than other brands. Stihl has a lot of styles to choose from. They make chain saws for the occasional homeowner use and for professional loggers.Echo Chain SawsEcho is well made. It is from Japan. The Echo chain saws are less expensive. They have a smaller arm bar and less power, but will fulfill the needs for cutting a medium sized tree.SummaryHusqvarna and Stihl are neck and neck with the majority of the market. Echo does not sell a lot of chain saws.Other BrandsThere are other cheaper brands at big box retailers. The quality is usually really bad. The idea is you can cut down one tree and then throw the chainsaw away after that. That is if you make it through one tree. One time, I used three chainsaws on one tree. Luckily, the store would exchange the bum saws out for me and I only had to pay once. In general, a good chainsaw will cost around $400-$500 dollars. |
