[quote=“mike125k,post:6,topic:37591"”] Husqvarna [/quote] nice saws, cheaper at tractor supply than anyway else. This 16in will be fine for average home owner. Or jump to the 18 is he needs a bit more.

Stihl was a german immigrant to the US and he invent the chain saw. My collection only includes Stihl.😃 All the others are just copycats.😃 I have cut down literally thousands of trees with my Stihl chain saws. I will say that ECHO makes a good saw. ---

dolmar = light weight + sacs motor i have looked at many and used many. this is by far the best over all saw. Andreas Stihl developed the first electric chain saw in 1926 Emil Lerp formed it due to his development of the world’s first petrol chain saw in 1927 ---

I have used Stihl and Craftsman to clear over 2acres of thick wooded area. The craftsmans tending to overheat with heavy 12hr sawing and bound up quite a bit more than the Stihl. I dont have any experience with the other saws mentioned ---
